NOTE: If performing the charging procedures independently, READ and CAREFULLY follow the individual instructions for each
charger (supplied or purchased).
NOTE: If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified service technician for proper procedures.
Required Items
:
1.
Attach the battery charger connector to the charger port on the joystick.
2.
Plug the charger’s AC power cord, or extension, into the grounded 120 VAC wall outlet.
3.
Wait until charging is complete.
NOTE: Allow eight hours for normal charging. Larger batteries (greater than 55 ampere-hours) or severely discharged batteries may
require up to sixteen hours to be properly charged and equalized.
NOTE: It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the charge level
is maintained well above a low condition.
NOTE: If the batteries need to be charged more often or take longer to charge than normal, they may need to be replaced. Contact an
Invacare dealer for service.
