Battery Charger and Charging
Charging with the Battery installed in the Ypush
For your convenience, you can charge the battery on-board the Ypush, with-
out removing it from the wheelchair, using the special Brintal Battery Charger
31
located under the left hand armrest.
32
The long flexible charger lead
extends, to reach mains power sockets quite a distance from the wheelchair.
1
Place the Ypush in an area that is dry and well ventilated and within the
charging temperature range stated in the Technical Specification. Make sure a
mains power socket is within reach. Do not over-stretch the flexible cable.
2
Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
3
Open the right hand armrest and check that the battery is plugged in.
4
Remove the Battery Charger A from the left armrest
32
and lift the rubber
socket cover B, to expose the charging socket C.

5
Insert the Brintal Battery Charger plug into the socket as shown by the green
arrow
33
Note:
The plug will only plug into the socket in one position, with the
wire from the plug facing forwards to the front of the Ypush as shown.
6
Check the mains power socket you are going to use is switched off. Never
connect or disconnect the Charger with the mains power already switched on.
7
Plug the Charger into the mains power socket and switch the power on.

Whilst charging, a red light
31
illuminates to indicate charging is taking
place. This changes to green when the battery is fully charged. If no battery is
connected, or the battery is fully charged and the mains power is switched
on, then the Charger will also show a green light.
9
When charging is complete, first switch off the mains power, remove the
mains plug, and then disconnect the battery from the Charger. The Charger
can be stored inside the left hand armrest compartment (D).
Note:
The Ypush will NOT operate if the plug is left in the on-board socket.
If you do turn on the Ignition key there will be a continuous beeping sound
and the red LED light on the left dash will flash as a warning.
Note:
Do not leave the charger plugged in with the mains power switched
off. This may gradually discharge your battery.
