Batteries & Battery Charging
Batteries
The Powerchair is supplied with two sealed deep cycle, maintenance free
batteries. These are fitted under the seat in the centre of the Powerchair. For easy
handling, Velcro carrying straps are provided to assist in fitting or removal.
These batteries are different from ordinary car batteries and should be charged
with the charger specifically for this type and make of battery.
CAUTION!
-
Using incorrect battery size and/or voltage may cause damage to
the Powerchair and have an adverse effect on the performance
specifications.
To ensure long battery life, do not allow the batteries to become totally
discharged. If the Powerchair is not used for a length of time the batteries must
receive a full charge once a month and remain fully charged during storage.
Battery charging
The battery charger supplied with your Powerchair is fitted with an automatic
electronic switch that terminates the charge when the batteries are fully charged.
To avoid reducing battery life always fully charge new batteries before initial
use. Please note that the batteries will not perform to their peak until first six to
ten charging cycles have been completed.
The front panel of the battery charger has two lights - red and green. Steady red
light indicates that charger is on from the mains and is ready to charge. Flickering
red light signifies incorrect or bad connection. The other light is yellow/orange
when charging, which turns to green when charging is complete.
To re-charge the batteries, connect one end of the battery charger power cord to
the charging socket and the other end to a 3-pin grounded wall outlet and switch
on at the mains.
Do not switch off or interrupt the charging cycle before charging is complete
(typically from 8 to 12 hours depending on depth of discharge).
When charging is complete always disconnect from the main supply first fol-
lowed by unplugging the charger from the chair.
The charger also has its own ON/OFF switch located in the opposite end to the
two-way display lights. Ensure this is switched on to charge your batteries.
