The control unit consumes standby current, which
means the batteries are gradually discharged during
extended periods of disuse. If the outdoor vehicle will
not be used for an extended period, Ottobock recom
mends removing the batteries and charging them every
6 months to maintain their capacity.
•
The outdoor vehicle control unit must be switched off
while the batteries are charging to allow all of the char
ging current to be fed into the battery.
