20.2 Battery charging
This wheelchair is provided with two maintenance free batteries. During
normal use, the batteries must be charged every day. It is most convenient to
make it a daily practice to charge the wheelchair during the night.
After having taken care of these precautions, charge the batteries by plugging
in the charger in the rear of the control unit first. Plug in the charger in the
mains secondly. Read the manual of your charger carefully for any other
precautions and user prescriptions. When the wheelchair is not used over a
longer period, recharge the batteries every four weeks to keep the batteries in
good condition. If the batteries are not charged regularly, the remaining
capacity will quickly drop.
20.3 Short term storage
For the charging process to produce a battery with good capacity, the
temperature in the storage room should not be lower than +5 degrees.
If it is stored at a temperature below +5 degrees, there is a higher risk that the
battery has not been fully charged when it comes to be used and also a higher
risk of corrosion.
20.4 Long term storage
The battery may be stored in an unheated room, but it should be charged at
least once a month for maintenance purposes.
• Only charge in a well-ventilated room with no sources of open fire.
• Turn of the control unit before charging.
• Make sure the charging cable is not causing crashes of people.
• When the charger is disconnected from the wheelchair, also disconnect the
charger from the mains.
• Place the charger in a place where it can radiate its heat freely during
charging.
• The charger may malfunction if it is dropped to the ground or damaged by
external impact.
• If the charger has a damaged appearance or abnormal LED light, please
contact a KARMA dealer.
