BATTERY CHARGING (CONTINUED)
CHARGER OPERATION
•
Both the charger’s LEDs will illuminate when charging.
•
The red LED is lit whenever the charger is switched on.
•
The other LED will illuminate when connected to the powerchair.
•
The other LED is lit amber when bulk charging and then green when
trickle charging (after bulk charging has finished).
Warning: Please note the fan inside the charger will be activated accordingly
when you switch on the charger. If you find the fan does not work
when the amber LED is lit, DO NOT use the charger. To do so may
result in the charger overheating and risk of fire.
BATTERY CHARGING GUIDELINES
1.
Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not complete. The
battery life will be seriously shortened or decayed if the battery is
repeatedly used without being fully charged. Ensure you always charge
the battery fully every time.
2.
Always charge the batteries until the charger LED light turns green. This
means that bulk charging is complete. Never stop charging before the
LED turns green.
3.
Ideally, leave the charger switched on for at least two hours after the LED
has turned green. During this time this charger will trickle charge the
battery to optimise its performance.
4.
If you do not use your powerchair for a long time, still charge the batteries
at least once a week to keep the batteries in a usable condition.
5.
The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be
longer in the winter.
6.
After charging, do not leave the charger plugged in to the powerchair, as
this will cause a power drain on the powerchair and temporarily reduce its
range.
7.
The batteries carry a one year manufacturer’s warranty. This warranty
only covers issues relating to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating
to failure to recharge the batteries as instructed above.
