Battery and Battery Charger
Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 2 amp switch mode type off board. The battery charging port is located on
the underside of the joystick controller. There is also a charging port on the battery pack. This special
feature allows the battery to be charged independently of the main powerchair.
Before using your powerchair for the first time be sure to fully charge the battery pack, this may take
up to 8 hours.
To charge the battery connect the 3-pin male charger plug into the charging socket on the joystick /
battery pack (to use the charge socket on the battery pack it must be removed). Plug the 3-pin mains
plug into a wall socket and switch on.
There will be a constant red light on the charger which indicates power is on. When charging the light
changes to yellow, a green LED light indicates charging is complete.
Caution:
The joystick controller should be switched off when charging
Caution:
Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours. Always charge the battery in a
well-ventilated indoor area. You must still maintain charging the battery even if the
powerchair is not to be used for a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks).
Failure to do so could result in permanent damage and render the battery unusable.
Wherever possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the battery is fully charged.
Continual interruption can permanently damage the battery.
If the charging lead should get damaged discontinue use immediately and seek a
replacement from your dealer. ONLY USE THE CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
POWERCHAIR. Do not leave the charger plugged into to the charger port after the charge
is complete.
Disposing and recycling of used battery
Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your
domestic refuge.
For further information regarding your nearest recycling facility please contact your
local authority.
