7.10.4. Charging procedure
The battery is charged via a socket located on the joystick module. When the charger is plugged in, the module recognizes
it and stops the chair from moving. The following procedure is applicable for the recommended charger brand (See
separate charger instructions if using an alternative charger).
1. Make sure the chair is off using the on / off joystick button.
2. Make sure the circuit breaker fuse is armed so as not to prevent the batteries recharging.
3. Make sure the charger is turned off before plugging it into the chair.
4. Plug the charger into the jack on the joystick module.
5. Connect the charger to the 220 V mains.
6. Please refer to the manual supplied with your charger for detailed instructions.
Here are some tips for taking care of your batteries:
• Avoid ultra-deep discharges (total discharges reduce the life cycle)
• Do not leave batteries on a low charge for a long period (for example, after a day of use,
• Completely recharge the batteries during the night),
• Once the batteries are empty, recharge them completely (this may take more than eight hours).
Warning
Always protect the batteries from freezing and never try to charge a frozen battery. You could hurt yourself and damage the battery.
Avoid the risk of electric shock. Protect the charger from moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not use the charger if it has been
dropped or damaged. Only use extension cords in good condition.
STOP
Do not place the charger on the chair seat during recharging, as it may become very hot. Always place the charger on the floor or near
the chair when in use. Avoid placing the charger near a heat source such as a radiator or exposing it directly to sunlight.
To optimize the life of your batteries:
• Fully charge the batteries before moving around
• Make sure tyre pressure is correct for the weight and surface
• Avoid stopping too frequently; try to keep a constant speed
• Try to avoid inclines
• Limit the weight of onboard luggage
• Do not operate the control system if the battery is almost empty. Failure to do so may leave the user immobilized in a
dangerous position, such as in the middle of a road. Magic Mobility claims no responsibility for losses of any kind resulting
from a failure to follow these instructions.
