4. Complete charge
A complete charge is long (between 10 and 12 hours), but efficient.
An incomplete charge will also reduce the durability of your batteries by one charging
cycle. The battery will not have enough time to store the energy correctly. It will not be
able to reconstitute the missing energy. The autonomy will be reduced. A series of incom-
plete charges will have an even more disastrous effect. In fact, the different batteries that
are charged incomplete and unbalanced between each other, will cause a reduced dura-
bility of the whole set of 4 batteries.
Conclusion: To maintain a maximum autonomy and optimise the durability of your bat-
teries, every started charging cycle has to be completed. Repeated short or incomplete
cycles limit progressively the capacity of your batteries.
5. Long term storing of the wheelchair without using it
The batteries discharge by themselves naturally and loose continuously their capacity. In
case the chair isn’t being used for a long period of time, it is recommended to charge it at
least once a month to maintain a complete level of charge.
Good to know: New batteries need a start-up time of 15 to 20 charging cycles before
they reach their full capacity.
6.1.3 Use of the charger
Use only the charger provided with the wheelchair. It’s adapted to the batteries of your vehicle.
This charger adapts to all voltages in between 110 and 240 Volts.
It initiates a programmed charge phase and disconnects automatically in the end of the cycle
to prevent damage of the batteries.
The charger has to be placed on a plane surface and protected from humidity.
For your own security it is imperatively necessary to read and respect the following orders
before using the charger
1. Before charging the batteries, switch off the wheelchair.
2. Connect the charging cable to the wheelchair, than connect the charger to the power socket.
3. Once the charge is terminated, unplug the power socket first, than disconnect the charging cable.
