6.5 Battery warranty:
Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are subject to a wear
and tear clause, and if you genuinely wear out your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible to obtain a replacement under
warranty.
6.6 Replacing batteries
• The wheelchair uses a 24V Li-Ion battery which is fully sealed and require no maintenance.
• Replacing and servicing batteries is to be done by qualified specialist.
• In case of malfunctioning batteries, contact your local dealer.
DANGER!
• Do not attempt to replace or service batteries without the supervision of trained and qualified personnel.
6.7 Air Transportation of the wheelchair
The wheelchair and the single 24v Li-Ion battery has air transport certification to the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
regulations.
Individual airlines have differing requirements relative to transport of products with Li-Ion batteries. Prior to arranging any air travel
with the wheelchair, please confirm with your airline or carrier that they accept battery-powered vehicles under UN classification:
UN3171. Note: The pilot of the aircraft has the ultimate decision to allow or deny travel of any device onboard the plane.
If your airline accepts the UN3171 classification, the following steps will be necessary to prepare your wheelchair for air travel.
• The battery must have a maximum charge of 30%. We recommend to completely discharge your battery until the gauge shows
the single red LED in the battery display reference Fig 5.1 – item 2 (on page 18).
• Disconnect the battery from compartment ‘A’ in Fig 6.2 (on page 24), and store the discharged battery in the spare battery
compartment ‘B’.
• Ensure the battery is correctly clipped into place, and the latch is in place.
• Carefully pack your wheelchair in the original packaging for transport to the airport.
