Battery Charger
The external charger has been designed to charge two 12V
Gel type batteries connected in series (= 24 V).
The chargers have features which prevent hazards or accidents
occurring as a result of connecting batteries the wrong way
round, overheating caused by fault conditions or attempting to
charge wrong voltage batteries.
The majority of charger sizes are electrically double insulated
and no earth connection is required. Some larger sizes may be
electrically earthed and this will be clearly stated on the label.
If your charger has been specified for use in Continental Europe
it will contain a European two pin plug which does not have a
fuse. In this case the fuse is located in the fascia panel of the
charger.
Country specific information: UK
The 3 pin UK mains input plug contains a replaceable fuse.
The rating of this fuse is shown on the charger label.
DANGER!
•
As with all mains powered electrical equipment, always
replace blown fuses with the same type and size of fuse as
specified.
•
Fitting of different fuses can result in an increased fire risk,
damage to the charger or failure of the charger to operate
properly.
6.3 The range of your vehicle:
Please refer to the specification tables at the back of this
manual for Energy Consumption, (Maximum Range),
information.
Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range
of their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the
Owner’s Manual. The range stated sometimes differs from
manufacturer to manufacturer even though the battery size is
the same. Sunrise Medical measure the range of their vehicles
in a consistent and uniform manner, but variances still occur
due to motor efficiencies and overall product load weight.
The range figures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176. Part
4: Wheelchair Energy Consumption Theoretical Range.
This test is carried out in controlled conditions with new,
fully charged batteries, on a level test surface and a user
weight of 100 kg. The range figures stated should be seen as
a theoretical maximum and could be reduced if any single, or
combination, of the following circumstances occur:
•
User weight heavier than 100 kg.
•
Batteries whose age and condition are less than perfect.
•
The terrain is difficult e.g. very hilly, sloping, muddy ground,
gravel, grass, snow and ice.
•
The vehicle climbs kerbs regularly.
•
The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
•
Incorrect tyre pressures in one or more tyres.
•
Lots of start/stop driving.
•
Also thick pile carpets within the home can affect range.
•
Use of additional power consumption options (e.g. light,
actuators, etc.)
The battery sizes available on each Sunrise Medical product
should give sufficient range to cope with the majority of
customer’s lifestyles.
6.4 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.
