Owner's Manual Permobil X850 MiniFlex Maintenance and repairs
General - batteries/storage
• Please note that a battery discharges itself and that a discharged battery can burst when it is cold. If the wheelchair
is to be stored unused for an extended period of time, the batteries must always be charged once a month to avoid
them being damaged.
• The wheelchair must not be stored in areas subject to condensation (steam or moisture on surfaces), for example
utility rooms or similar.
• The wheelchair may be stored in an unheated room. From the point of view of corrosion, it is best for the room to be
a few degrees warmer than the surroundings as this keeps the room drier.
• If the wheelchair is fitted with acid batteries, the acid level should be checked regularly. If the wheelchair is fitted
with gel batteries, the liquid level does not need to be checked.
• The life of the batteries depends entirely on regular charging.
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.
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.

WARNING!
