8.4. How to Charge the Lithium Ion Battery (ESB1)
There are two ways to charge the battery; by removing it from the wheelchair (tabletop charging), or
while it is still attached to the wheelchair (on-vehicle charging).
(1)
Charging the Battery out of the Unit (Tabletop Charging)
1
Check that the protective cap is on the battery.
If there is not, be sure to attach the protective
cap.
2
Insert the power cord to the dedicated charger
(ESC1) and plug into the residential power outlet.
3
With battery resting on its side, open the
connector cover, and insert the charge plug into
the charge connector on the battery.
4
Check that the charge lamp (green) on the
charger turns on.
If the charge lamp does not light green, see “8.6.
Charger Indicator Lamps” (page 60).
5
While charging, you can check the charge status
of the battery on the charge lamp.
The charge lamp will turn off after charging has
completed.
Assuming that charging started with the battery in
an empty state, the time to completion is typically
4.5 hours.
6
After charging has completed, unplug the charge
plug and the power plug, then securely close the
battery’s connector cover.
