6.5.10  Charging  

 
Fig3-16 

 

Plug  the  battery  charger  into  the  charging  socket 
located at the front of the G90 Remote. 
 
Driving is inhibited while the system is being charged as 
denoted  by  ‘-‘  displayed  on  the  7  segment  display. 
However,  it  is  possible  to  use  accessory  functions  e.g. 
actuators. 
 
Once  the  Battery  Charger 

displays  a  ‘full’  battery 

charge, the battery charger plug may be removed.  

 

7  Batteries & Charging 

 

7.1 

Batteries 

 
Your  power  chair  uses  high  quality  long  lasting  gel  cell  batteries  that  are  sealed  and 
maintenance  free.  There  is  no  need  to  check  the  electrolyte  fluid  level  they  contain.  Despite 
their  similarity  to  automotive  batteries,  they  are  not  the  same.  Automotive  batteries  are  not 
designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and are also unsafe for use in power chairs.  
 

 

WARNING!  Battery  posts,  terminals,  and  related  accessories  contain  lead  and 
lead compounds, wash your hands after touching. 
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in the batteries. Use only AGM or 
gel-cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions. 
WARNING! When  fitting  alternate  batteries,  ensure  their  terminal  posts  cannot 
touch any part of the wheelchair frame 

 

STOP!  Automotive  batteries  and  chargers  are  unsafe  for  use  in  power 
wheelchairs 

 

7.2 

Battery Charging 

 
We  recommend  using  only  a  high  quality  dual  rate  intelligent  battery  charger  with  your  power 
chair. Only use the supplied off-board charger unless otherwise approved by Magic Mobility. Do 
not use an automotive-type battery charge.  
 
Fully recharge any new batteries prior to use. Operate the power wheelchair around the house 
and grounds, and do not travel too far until you are accustomed to the controls.  After this first 
use  fully  charge  the  batteries.  After  4  or  5  cycles,  the  batteries  will  perform  to  their  fullest 
potential. 
 
The  charger  will  not  operate  after  the  batteries  have  been  discharged  to  an  extremely  low 
voltage. If this happens, call your Magic Mobility Dealer for assistance. 
 

7.3 

Charging Procedure 

 

Battery charging is via a socket within the joystick module. When a charger is plugged in,  the 
joystick unit recognises the unit is plugged in and chair driving is inhibited.   
 
The  following  procedure  is  valid  for  the  recommended  charger  brand  -  consult  your  separate 
charger instructions if supplied with an alternative charger.
