BATTERIES
MAINTENANCE-FREE BAT-
TERIES
Only maintenance free batteries with
bound electrolytes, such as gel-batte-
ries are to be used.
Maintenance-free batteries:
– These batteries do not require main-
tenance.
– are leak proof,
– Acid-tightness cannot be measured.
Charging the batteries
– before long tours
– after long periods of disuse
– possibly before each use of the
wheelchair
– No later than the battery display
light up in red. – Danger of deep
discharge.
☞
Recharge the batteries as often as
possible.
☞
Recharge over a sufficient period
of time.
It is best to charge the battery over-
night. A full charging of the batteries
takes approximately 12 hours.
☞
Note:
In exceptions, the charging cycle
can be extended to up to 22 hours.
Afterwards the operating module
shows an error. – In this case con-
tact your dealer.
Charging before long periods
of non-use
You should fully charge the batteries
of the wheelchair before a long peri-
od of non-use. – This lengthens the
service life of the batteries. Pull out
the main fuse after the charging and
re-insert it into the fuse holder the
other way round. This prevents the
fuse being lost.
Battery charger
Only use a battery charger which is
designed for the battery in question!
– Otherwise, the batteries may be de-
stroyed.
Observe the operating manual.
