11.7 General charger information

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

11.8 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.
WARNING!
Always replace with the same type and size of fuse as
specified. Fitting of different fuses can result in 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.

11.9 Connecting the charger and charging

The wheelchair can be charged via the charger socket at
the front of the remote control. (Fig.11.6).
Connect the charger to the mains supply by means of the
mains plug and switch on.
CAUTION!
Do not leave the charger connected to the battery with the
mains disconnected or switch ed off. This could result in
damage to your battery being caused by deep discharge
over a period of time.
WARNING!
Always switch the battery charger off at the mains before
connecting or disconnecting it to the wheelchair .

11.10 Charger safety and caution notes

WARNING!
• The charger is designed for indoor use. Do not use

consult your Sunrise Medical service agent

11.11 The range of your vehicle

Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range
of their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the
Owner's Manual. The range stated sometimes differs from
manufacturer to manufacturer even though the battery
size is the same. Sunrise Medical measure the range of
their vehicles in a consistent and uniform manner, but
variances still occur due to motor efficiencies and overall
product load weight.
The range figures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176.
Part 4: Wheelchair Energy Consumption Theoretical
Range
This test is carried out in controlled conditions with new,
fully charg ed batteries, on a level test surface and a user
weight of 100 kg. The range figures stated should be seen
as a theoretical maximum and could be reduced if any
single, or combination, of the following circumstances
occur:
• User weight heavier than 100 kg.
• Batteries whose age and condition are less than
perfect.
• The terrain is difficult e.g. very hilly, sloping, muddy
ground, gravel, grass, snow and ice.
• The vehicle climbs kerbs regularly.
• The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
• Incorrect tyre pressures in one or more tyres.
• Lots of start/stop driving.
• Also thick pile carpets within the home can affect
range.
• Use of additional power consumption options (e.g.
light, actuators, etc.)
The battery sizes available on each Sunrise Medical
product should give sufficient range to cope with the
majority of customer's lifestyles.
