• Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals; electric
shock may occur.
• Ensure the charging cable is not under excessive tension to avoid
cable damage — damaged cables can create an electrocution / re
risk.

secondary heat source — direct heating of the battery via an
external source could pose a re risk or cause an explosion.
• Do not drive the powerchair while the charging cable is attached
or connected.
Warning
• Only charge the Titan Powerchair with the approved charger.
Never charge the powerchair using a dierent charger.
• Charge fully before each use.

8 – 10 hours without causing damage to the batteries.
To Charge:
1. Only use the charger to recharge lead-acid batteries.
2. Keep the AC power switched o until the battery and charger have been connected.
3. Insert the end connector of the charger in to the socket on the front of the joystick.

batteries.
5. When the LED turns from Red to Green this indicates that the batteries are
charged.
Note: the LED will also illuminate Green if the batteries are not connected. In the
event of the LED not turning red on start up check the connection.
If you use your powerchair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are
nished with the day’s activities, and leave it on the charge until you are ready to use
the following day. Aer charging, unplug and remove the charger from the mains
socket and powerchair.
If there is a longer period of no use, it is recommended to charge the battery every
two months. is may help preserve / extend the life of the battery.
