GiGi without unlocking the main
hinge. If this is not possible the
folding mechanism is locked (if the
GiGi is not unfolded correct the motor
will not work).

overcharging,becauseafterreachingmaximumchargelevelthechargerdisconnects
automatically. It also starts charging when the battery level gets too low to avoid complete
selfdischarge. It is therefore required to plug in the GiGi when stalled for a long period of time.
