Batteries/storage
• Please note that a battery discharges itself and that a discharged battery can
burst when it is cold. If the wheelchair is to be stored unused for an extended
period of time, the batteries must always be charged once a month to avoid
damaging them.
• The output stage must be switched off during a storage period.
• The wheelchair must not be stored in areas subject to condensation (steam
or moisture on surfaces) for example, utility rooms or similar.
• The wheelchair may be stored in an unheated room. From the point of view
of corrosion, it is best for the room to be a few degrees warmer than the
surroundings as this keeps the room drier.
• The life of the battery depends entirely on regular charging.
Short-term storage
For the charging process to produce a battery with good capacity, the tempera-
ture in the storage room should not be lower than +5 degrees. If it is stored at
a temperature below +5 degrees, there is a higher risk that the battery has not
been fully charged when it comes to be used and also a higher risk of corrosion.
Long-term storage
The batteries may be stored in an unheated room but they should be charged at
least once a month for maintenance purposes.
Be careful when using metal objects when working with batteries. A short-circuit
can easily cause an explosion. Always use safety gloves and safety goggles.

WARNING!
Battery replacement
If the number of “stand up cycles“ with a fully charged battery decreases by
50% or more, it might be necessary to replace the batteries. Please contact a
Permobil Life Stand dealer to have the batteries checked and if needed replaced.
Do not attempt to replace the batteries yourself, only a Permobil Life Stand
dealer is allowed to open the control box.
