Batteries & Battery Charging
Batteries
The Shoprider 6Runner Powerchairs are designed to operate on two 12 volt /
50Ah or 75Ah sealed lead acid aka SLA (AGM or gel-cell type) maintenance free
batteries. The life of the batteries may be affected by temperature, terrain, weight
of user, driving methods, and care of batteries. The active user will need to
charge the batteries after using approximately 30% of battery capacity. As an
inactive user, only using from once a week to every other day, the recharge point
would be at 50% of discharge (Refer to Figure 5). For extended battery life, it is
highly recommended that these guidelines be followed. You cannot over charge
the batteries.
•
Active users: Charge daily
•
Occasional users: Charge your battery before any outing and always after
active use.
*Keeping the batteries charged extends the life of the batteries*
SLA batteries should be kept fully charged at all times. They must not be left in a
discharged state if the unit is not being used for some time or the batteries will be
permanently damaged and will no longer hold a charge. The SLA batteries
should be checked once a month and kept charged as needed. Typically SLA
batteries have up to about 400 charging cycles.
