Batteries and Battery Charging
BATTERIES: Your Powerchair batteries are virtually maintenance-free, because
the electrolyte is immobilized in a special form and will not leak out, even if the
battery is accidentally overturned. It is
not necessary to top them up with water
from time to time.
Because your Powerchair
batteries are sealed, they are most likely to be accepted
for transport on all aircraft. Please consult your carrier prior to departure, as they
will need advance warning that you wish them to carry batteries.
NOTE: Each
carrier reserves the right to carry what may be termed “HAZARDOUS CARGO”
Shoprider cannot be responsible for their final decision.
BATTERY CHARGER: The battery charger supplied is specific to your Powerchair,
and may not be suitable for any other power mobility products. Use only the
charger supplied with your Powerchair ; other makes of chargers may
permanently damage your Powerchair batteries, and would void the warranty.
BATTERY CHARGING
: Your Powerchair has a lot of power, so keeping it working
to its maximum potential means that its two batteries must be maintained with full
power. An active user will need to charge the batteries after using approx. 30% of
the battery capacity. An inactive user (once a week to every other day), the
recharge point would be 50%.
Nightly recharging, after use, will help you give
the batteries a longer life and will ensure your Powerchair is always ready to go
when you are. The batteries are located under the seat in the center of the chair.
The duration of the batteries can be affected by temperature, terrain and weight of
the user. On the joystick controller there is a battery gauge, which indicates how
much charge is remaining in the batteries.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES : Your Powerchair batteries will need to be
recharged when the battery state indicator located on the “joystick controller” is
reading in the RED bar position. NOTE:
The batteries will have a longer life if
you do not use up all of the battery’s power , and recharge as soon as the
battery gauge reaches the red bars.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO THE BATTERIES .
