The battery and charger instructions from Milwaukee
supersede those in this manual. For additional information,
see the manuals provided with these components.
A battery charger suitable for use with your local power
supply is supplied with the chair (Figure 13):

100-120 VAC (60 Hz North America; 50/60 Hz Japan)
●
220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (Europe and other areas)
An adapter plug (not supplied) may be needed to adapt the
charger plug for the outlet.
Typical charging time is about one hour. If the batteries
are deeply discharged, extend the charging time. Actual
charging time may vary based on frequency of recharge,
depth of discharge, and age of batteries.
Store the charger ONLY in a cool, dry place. DO NOT store
where temperatures may exceed 120°F (50°C).
If the charger will be used inside an ambulance, it must
be securely mounted (mounting hardware not supplied).
A charger is included with purchase of a chair or
PowerTraxx retrofit kit. For additional batteries or chargers,
