7.10.5. Battery gauge on the LCD screen
•
The batteries are charged if the battery gauge reads red, yellow and green.
•
You need to charge the batteries as soon as you can if the battery gauge only indicates red and yellow.
•
You must charge the batteries immediately if the battery gauge only indicates a steady or slowly flashing red.
How does the battery gauge work?
• The battery gauge lets you know what the remaining charge is in the batteries. The best way for you to use the gauge is
to know how it behaves as you drive the wheelchair. Like the fuel gauge in a car, it is not completely accurate, but it will
help you to avoid running out of «fuel».
• When you turn on the control system, the battery gauge gives an estimate of the remaining charge. The battery gauge
gives a more precise reading about a minute after you have started driving the Wheelchair.
• The level of charge in your batteries depends on how you use your wheelchair, the battery temperature and age. These
factors affect the distance you can travel in your chair. All wheelchair batteries will gradually lose their capacity as they age.
• If the measurement of the battery gauge appears to be falling faster than usual, your batteries may be exhausted. When
you change old batteries, replace them with batteries recommended by Magic Mobility. If you use another type, the
battery gauge is likely to be inaccurate.
7.10.6. Public transport
Gelled electrolyte batteries are approved by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and can be transported safely
on-board aircraft, buses and trains. However, Magic Mobility recommends you check the requirements of the carrier in
advance. When you want to fly with your chair, contact the airline to communicate the required information. Magic Mobility
has a brochure available on its website entitled «flying with your chair» which covers most related issues.
7.10.7. Disposal and recycling of batteries
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, contact your Logo Silver dealer for instructions on the safest way to get rid
of it. We advise you to contact your Logo Silver dealer who will have all the information you need to recycle your batteries.
