2.19 Batteries

The standard for your electric wheelchair are two closed AGM batteries, 12 V/38 Ah or 50
Ah. The batteries used with your electric wheelchair are drive batteries which only attain full
capacity after a few charging and use cycles.
If the batteries loose their power after long usage, or if they are damaged, get them both
replaced by a specialist dealer only.
We accept no liability for damage caused through using other types of batteries.
If the batteries are opened, all manufacturer liability and all claims will become void.
Do not use the batteries at temperatures below -5°C or above +50°C (the ideal is: +20°C).
Use only the original batteries. We do not accept any liability for damages resulting
from use of other batteries.

2.20 Battery charger

To charge the batteries, only use the battery charger supplied.
For the user instructions of the battery charger you can refer to the manual that is delivered
with your battery charger.

2.21 Charging the batteries

L
CAUTION:
Risk of injury - Only use the battery charger supplied to charge
batteries.
As the charger aligns the charge curve with the batteries charge level, you can recharge your
wheelchair after each use. This avoids any aggressive battery charging and the "memory
effect".
Recharge the wheelchair, at the latest, when the charge indicator on the operator unit goes
into the red zone. If, despite this, you continue driving, eventually only the last red diode
lights up and flashes continually, indicating that the batteries are nearly flat. If you disregard
this warning signal, too, an error message will shortly appear indicating that the batteries can
no longer provide power for driving. The batteries should therefore be charged before these
error messages appear, using the supplied battery charger. Avoid the batteries becoming
drained, in any case.
For the use of the battery charger refer to the separate manual of the battery charger.
If you decide not to use your electric wheelchair for an appreciable period, you must
nevertheless recharge it regularly to keep it in a running condition ready for immediate use.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by improper charging.
For further information, please refer to the user instructions provided with the charger.
