The Range Of Your Vehicle - Sunrise Medical QUICKIE Q700 M Manuel D'utilisation

6.3 The range of your vehicle:

Please refer to the specification tables at the back of this manual
for Energy Consumption, (Maximum Range), information.
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
charged 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.
