Batteries storage

• The wheelchair must not be stored in areas subject to

condensation (steam or moisture on surfaces), e.g. utility rooms
or similar.

• If the wheelchair is equipped with acid batteries, the acid level

must be regularly checked. If the wheelchair is equipped with gel
or AGM batteries, the liquid level does not need to be checked.

• Battery service life depends on regular charging and avoiding

complete discharge of the batteries.

5.5.1

Short-term storage

For short-term battery storage, the room must be at least 41.0°F. If
the temperature is lower than this, the batteries may not charge fully
and may be more vulnerable to corrosion.
