Maintenance
General
• Batteries discharge themselves and must be charged and maintenance-char-
ged to prevent them from being damaged.
• The wheelchair must not be stored in rooms in which condensation occurs
(mist or moisture on surfaces), e.g. laundry or similar rooms.
• The wheelchair may be stored in an unheated room. From the point of view
of corrosion, it is best for the chair if the room is a few degrees warmer than
the surroundings, which keeps the room drier.
Short-term storage
In order for the charging process to produce a battery with good capacity, the
temperature in the storage room should not be less than 41 F. Storage at less
than 41 F increases the risk that the battery is not fully charged when it is used
and also increases the risk of corrosion.
Long-term storage
The chair may be stored in an unheated room but the battery should be mainte-
nance-charged at least once per month. See also Short-term storage above.
