6.9.2 General
INFORMATION
►
Please note that Ottobock has delivered this power wheelchair without batteries as per the order.
► Please note that batteries have been installed in your power wheelchair which are not included in Ottobock's
modular system. Ottobock assumes no liability for combinations with accessories from other manufacturers
not included in Ottobock's modular system.
►
Prior to using this accessory, please read and observe the instructions for use / manufacturer's instructions
from the other manufacturer. These are included with the instructions for use.
► In case of questions or problems with these accessories, please contact the qualified personnel who adjusted
this product.
The power wheelchair is equipped with maintenance-free batteries. See the section "Technical data" for the battery
capacity.
The batteries are located under the seat of the power wheelchair, below the battery cover.
Prolonged driving when the battery is low results in deep discharge and battery damage. If the power wheelchair is
being driven when the battery is low the control unit switches to creep speed to save power.
6.9.3 Battery charging information
The range of the power wheelchair is determined by the battery capacity. The battery capacity is influenced by
many factors. In addition to the temperature, battery age and driving conditions, the charging cycle also has a pro­
nounced effect on the capacity and therefore on the range.
Batteries reach their full capacity only after
approx. 20
charge cycles. Only if the full capacity of the batteries has
been reached can the power wheelchair achieve the stated range.
