7.1.4 – Recommendations for use batteries
Battery life depends on several factors:
-
Manufacturing quality
Use only original batteries, which comply with the manufacturer's specifications.
Using lower quality batteries can lead to damage to electronics or malfunctions.
-
Charge quality
A full charge lasts several hours. To preserve the longevity of the batteries it is essential to respect the
full charging
times.
Otherwise, the partial loads will lead to a significant degradation of the autonomy and longevity of the
batteries. Depending on the types of batteries and their number, a full charge can last more than 10 hours .
-
Profondeur de décharge
The battery charge gauge of your manipulator gives you a
valuable indication.
The more you use the batteries (the chairs) when the battery charge gauge is in
the red zone,
the more you deepen
the battery discharge. Therefore, the longer the charging time required. But also it causes an alteration of the
components of the battery, which can even lead to a failure and / or irreparably damage the life of the latter.
It is customary that a battery regularly discharged at more than 90% is a number of cycles reduced to less than half
of its theoretical value announced by the manufacturer.
Example: a battery with 600 charge cycles, will perform only 250 if it is often discharged to more than 90%.
-
The number of charge cycles
Batteries have a lifespan limited to their number of "charging" cycles. Every time you bank the charger of your chair
you use a charging cycle, even if you do not fully charge the batterie.ne charge only wisely.
Tip
Plug in your charger only wisely.
Unplug your charger only when the battery charge is complete
.
Hivernage ou stockage prolongé du fauteuil sans utilisation.
Mettre le fauteuil « hors tension », en fonction du model de fauteuil :
-
removing the 60A fuse on the battery circuit
-
by means of the home run on the front panel
In case of prolonged immobilization of the chair, it is advisable to recharge once a month, in order to maintain an
optimal state of charge.
Tip
New AGM gel batteries require a break-in period of 5 to 10 charge/discharge cycles before reaching full capacity.
7.1.5 – Wheelchair range
The autonomy of the chair is estimated at about 30km in normal driving on flat and unobstructed pavement.
Autonomy is subject to the influence of many factors such as:
-
Batteries: battery wear, number of
charge/discharge cycles performed with batteries, battery temperature
-
The environment: ambient temperatures,
composition of the road, reliefs
-
The total weight of the vehicle, which is the
sum of the chair, the user, accessories, and any other elements that can increase the weight of the vehicle
(push or tow another vehicle whatever it is, carry a second passenger, etc ...)
-
Use: use of lighting, use of seat functions, tyre wear and pressure, maximum or progressive acceleration.
Tip
When using outdoors plan to leave with batteries charged to more than 90% to guarantee the return.
