Battery care
To get the most out of the batteries with regard to operating time per charge and total lifetime, observe the
following:
-
Always turn the wheelchair off when not in use.
o
If the wheelchair is left on, this may cause significant depletion of the battery.
o
Significant depletion will reduce the lifetime of the battery unless it is recharged immediately.
-
Recharge daily (every night, if possible) - even if the full capacity of the battery has not been used.
o
The charger cannot overcharge the battery.
-
Always recharge the battery as soon as possible after it has gone flat.
