CHARGER

The charger supplied has an LED which changes colour depending on its status:

● If the LED is lit ORANGE then the charger is switched on and charging 

● If the LED is lit GREEN then the charger is switched on and has finished the bulk of its  

 

charging and the batteries can be used. However, we recommend that you leave the charger 

charging for a couple of hours after the green LED has lit. This will maintain and probably increase 

the capacity of your batteries

● The LED will also illuminate GREEN if the charger is switched on but not connected to the 

batteries.

storing.

● The batteries are maintenance free and there is no need to inspect the battery liquid or refill with 

water.

● You are required to charge the batteries on a regular basis. Even if the powerpack is not used, it 

should be charged at least once a week.

● The battery pack contains one 12V 18ah batteries.

● The battery supplied with the Power Assist  is classified as safe for air travel by compliance with 

IATA special provision A67

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

● 

Using the charger supplied, the charging duration is about 8 hours.

● 

However, to ensure optimum performance we recommend a 12-hour charge

● 

We also recommend that the batteries are not charged for more than 24 hours.

● 

When only two light indications shown on the battery meter, it will start to flash as a  

 

 

reminder to charge the batteries.
