CHARGING
MAINTENANCE, CHARGE THE CHAIR EVERY
MONTH OR CONTINUOUSLY
When only the red lights appear on the battery
indicator (4, in the illustration at the top of the page),
this means that the chair is running on reserve power.
The batteries should be recharged since only
10 percent of the battery’s capacity remains. If the
chair continues to be used, the red lights will start
to flash to give a further reminder of the need for
recharging. To charge, make sure that the chair is
switched off. Insert the charge plug (1) into the charge
socket (2) on the front of the controller. Then connect
the charger’s mains plug (3) to a wall socket. A yellow
light (4) comes on when the battery is charging.
When light (4) turns off, the battery is charged
90% of its capacity and can be used. To increase the
durability of the battery it is recommended to wait
until light (5) is on.
When exchanging battery (brand: Sonnenschein, type:
Dryfit A500 A512 12V 25 Ah), make sure to connect
the cable marked with a plus sign to the positive pole
on the battery. The negative cable should be connected
to the negative pole.
GUIDELINES WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES:
• Do not ever short-circuit the battery.
• Do not throw it on a fire.
• Avoid heavy bumps to the battery.
• If exposed to battery acid, rinse immediately with water
for at least 15 minutes then contact a doctor.
• Used batteries must be left at a recycling station.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The chargers are especially designed to charge
maintenance free lead acid batteries. The charger
housing should only be opened and maintained by
authorized personnel. Unqualified opening may cause
damage to the charger and will void the guarantee.
Operation with an opened housing is strictly
prohibited. Only a qualified technician is allowed
to replace the fuse. The charger should only be
operated if sufficient cooling is assured. The chargers
should only be operated in closed rooms and must be
protected against moisture.
PUTTING INTO OPERATION
Compare the rated voltage of the type plate of the
charger with the rated voltage of the battery. If
identical connect the battery with the correct polarity.
Red cable to plus (+) terminal, black cable to minus (-)
terminal of the battery. Connect the mains supply.
When the polarity is correct a LED 1 and LED 3
ignites. The LED 3 will turn of shortly and the LED
2 ignites. The battery will now be charged with the
rated current. If connected with reverse polarity, the
LED 4 illuminates. In this case disconnect the mains
supply immediately, charge the battery connection
and repeat the start procedure after 30-60 seconds.
If LED 4 and LED 3 illuminates after connecting
battery and mains, the battery is not connected or
the battery wiring is damaged.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID SPARKS:
• Connect mains supply without battery connection.
• Disconnect mains after a short period of time.
• Connect battery with correct polarity.
• Connect mains supply.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHARGING
SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERIES:
Charge/Discharge
• Charge 12 hours prior to initial use.
• Charge after each discharge even after partly discharge.
• Never store a discharged battery.
• A completely discharged battery must be charged for
min. 16 hours.
• If the charging time is below 16 hours for more than 3
times then charge one time for 24 hours to equalize the
poor charging.
• The ambient charging temperature should range between
10ºC and 30º.
BEFORE LONGER STORAGE PERIODS
(2 POSSIBILITIES):
A Disconnect the battery from the charger and store it fully
charged. Before storage periods exceeding 3 months
charge the battery for min. 36 hours.
B You can leave the battery on charge for an unlimited time
(maintenance charge). It is recommended to store
the battery in a cool place.
HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES
Charging in temperatures above 30°C is not
recommended. Your charger is adjusted with a
charging voltage valid for 20°C.
LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES
Charging below 10°C is not recommended. In low
temperatures the available capacity is reduced.
DEEP DISCHARGE
Try to avoid deep discharges. If a deep discharge
occurred, charge the battery as soon as possible for
24 hours.
GENERAL
The charger is designed in the primary switch mode
technology. The technology provides a constant
DC voltage which guarantees for a long lifetime for
maintenance free sealed lead acid batteries. A holding
device for wall mounting will be found on the back of
the charger.
