Batteries & Battery Charging
Batteries
The Powerchair is supplied with 4 x 35/36 Ah sealed lead acid, maintenance free
batteries. These are located under the seat in the center of the Powerchair. For easy
handling, Velcro or plastic carrying straps may be provided to assist in installation or
removal of the batteries. The duration of the batteries can be affected by temperature,
terrain and weight of the user. The Battery Gauge is a guide on the remaining charge in
the batteries.
The active user will need to charge the batteries after using approximately more than
30% of battery capacity. As an inactive user, only using from once a week to
every other day, the recharge point would be at 50% of discharge.
The Battery Gauge is used to indicate power on and
provides an estimate of the remaining battery
capacity.
Any green LEDs lit indicate well charged batteries.
If only amber and red LEDs are lit, the batteries are
moderately charged. Recharge before undertaking
a long trip.
If only red LEDs are lit, the batteries are running out
of charge. Recharge as soon as possible
