Warning
The battery terminals and their accessories contain lead, wash your hands after handling them.
Warning
Batteries contain corrosive chemicals. Only use AGM or gelled electrolyte batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or volatile conditions.
Warning
When changing the batteries, make sure that their terminals do not touch the wheelchair frame.
STOP
Car batteries and chargers should not be used with an electric wheelchair..
7.10.2. Charging the batteries
We recommend only using a supplied, high quality battery charger with your electric wheelchair. Use only the external
charger provided or a Logo Silver approved charger. Do not use a car battery type charger.
Fully charge new batteries before use. Drive the electric wheelchair at home or on private property; do not go too far
until you get used to the commands. After this first use, fully charge the batteries. After four or five cycles, the batteries will
operate at their maximum potential.
The charger will not work if the batteries have been depleted at an extremely low voltage. If this happens, call your Logo
Silver dealer for help.
7.10.3. Breaking in the battery
It is especially important to take good care of the battery during the «break-in» period to optimize its lifespan.
Procedure:
• Make sure the battery is fully charged before its initial use;
• Use the chair as normal during the day, avoid carrying excessive loads during the first five cycles;
• Fully charge the chair at night, checking that the charger indicates that the battery is fully charged (switches to charge
maintenance mode);
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 the first 20 times (cycles) to complete the «break-in» procedure.
Notes
A new battery will require more time to fully recharge, but the time required will decrease. Initially, you may find that you have to limit
use during the day so that the battery is fully charged.
• The battery capacity is limited when it is new, this is perfectly normal, and this will improve during the breaking-in process.
