system. It is like having one large battery. Gel-cell batteries have many advantages over the wet-cell
(automotive type) in that you never need to add water. They are sealed to avoid spills and corrosion
problems. Using a sealed gel-type battery should allow you to travel on an airplane and other
transportation without having to remove the batteries. Gell-cell deep-cycle batteries are designed to
be discharged and recharged regularly.
Tips
CAUTION
Always replace the batteries with two identical batteries of the same chemistry, amp-
hours, and capacity as a set and at the same time. The XLR 14 is designed to accept
12v60Ah or 12v73.6Ah batteries.
Only sealed non-spillable batteries that meet DOT CFR173.159 (d), IATA Packing Instructions 806,
and IATA Provision A67 shall be installed in this wheelchair.
Battery Charging
WARNING
Use only the charger that came with your XLR 14. Never use a battery charger made
for car batteries.
Note: The XLR 14 comes with an 8A charger only.
The average XLR 14 user will need to charge the batteries after using approximately 30% of the
battery capacity. For extended battery life, it is highly recommended that these guidelines be
followed. Keeping the batteries charged extends the life of the batteries.
Note: You cannot overcharge the batteries.
Battery access
To access the batteries on the XLR 14, start by removing the center mounted foot platform. Locate
and remove the two 13mm bolts on the top back plate of the tilt mechanism. Fold the seat back
down and extend the headrest to its max position. The entire seating from will lift forward towards
the front of the unit. Remove the battery cover, then disconnect the wiring harness on each battery
and undo the velcro straps holding the batteries in place.
Charger Safety
CAUTION
Never attempt to charge a frozen battery! A cold or frozen battery should be warmed
for several days prior to charging.
