18.3 disposal of broken or worn out batteries
Batteries don’t last forever. Therefore batteries need to be changed after a
certain period. The safest way is to have this done by authorized personnel of
your local supplier. Batteries are chemical waist and need to be treated as
such, using protective clothing, gloves and glasses.
Be sure that the charger plug is pushed fully in position. You will not be
able to drive the wheelchair when the charger is connected. If the
wheelchair does drive with the charger plugged in, contact your local
authorized supplier.
In some occasions it might be the case that your local supplier will deliver
the wheelchair with a different brand charger. In that case your local
supplier will inform you about the functionality of that charger and will also
make sure the charger comes with a user manual.
Replacing damaged or old batteries needs to be done by authorized
personnel wearing protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses.
Old or damaged batteries are classified as chemical waist and need to be
disposed according to the local regulations for chemical waist. Please
contact your local supplier for further details.
