12.6 Maintenance free battery care plan

CAUTIONS!
1. Only use an approved Sunrise Medical charger compatible
with the vehicle to be charged.
2. Charge your batteries every night, regardless of the amount
of use your mobility device has had during the day.
3. Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
4. If your mobility device is not required for use, it should
remain connected to the charger until required. This will not
damage your batteries, as long as the mains socket/plug
is left switched on. Turning the mains socket/plug off, but
leaving the mains cable plugged in will eventually deplete
your battery charge.
5. If you leave your vehicle for an extended period (more than
15 days) charge the batteries fully and then disconnect the
main battery lead.
6. Failure to allow for recharge will damage the batteries and
can lead to shortened distances and premature failure.
7. Do not top up the charge of your batteries during the day.
Wait until the evening for a full overnight charge.
8. As a general rule, maintenance free batteries take longer to
fully charge than "wet" lead acid batteries.
9. The battery terminals need to be checked regularly for
signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean
the terminals completely and re-grease the terminal using
Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary grease. Ensure that
the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and exposed cable are
completely covered with jelly.
10. Following all the points above should result in a healthier
battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life
for your batteries.
11. Return the batteries back to Sunrise Medical or directly to
the battery manufacturer for recycling, when they no longer
hold charge.

12.7 General charger information

The external charger has been designed to charge two 12V
Gel type batteries connected in series (= 24 V).

12.7.1 Charger safety features

The chargers have features which prevent hazards or
accidents occurring as a result of connecting batteries the
wrong way round, overheating caused by fault conditions or
attempting to charge wrong voltage batteries.
The majority of charger sizes are electrically double insulated
and no earth connection is required. Some larger sizes may be
electrically earthed and this will be clearly stated on the label.
The 3 pin UK mains input plug contains a replaceable fuse.
The rating of this fuse is shown on the charger label.
DANGER!
• As with all mains powered electrical equipment, always
replace blown fuses with the same type and size of fuse
as specified.
• Fitting of different fuses can result in an increased fire risk,
damage to the charger or failure of the charger to operate
properly.
If your charger has been specified for use in Continental
Europe it will contain a European two pin plug which does not
have a fuse. In this case the fuse is located in the fascia panel
of the charger.
