It is recommend to charge the batteries when the il display
indicates that they are almost discharged. Each battery is subject to
a normal “self discharge”, so batteries that are not used for long
time will discharge by itself.
Charging time is influenced by multiple factors such as remaining
battery power, battery state of aging and temperature. However the
approximate charging time is about 7-9 hours. If the charge
duration was reduced (about 1 hour), that is a sign of failure:
contact the vendor for a possible replacement of batteries.
Don’t use the wheelchair during the charge.
SHOCK HAZARD
Check if charger data sheet matches with the
network power (voltage, frequency).
RELEASE DANGER
Any impact to the batteries could cause a loss of
fluids. Pay attention
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
It is recommended to properly recycle used
batteries. Contact your local agency for waste
disposal for more information.
