Battery Charger
The external charger has been designed to charge the Li-Ion
battery (= 24 V).
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.
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.
Country specific information: UK
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.
Battery Replacement
WARNING!
Please replace with battery of same type. Please select the
battery type and capacity per specification in the manual. Please
use the replacement battery directly provided by the authorized
supplier(s) to ensure the performance and function.
WARNING!
Please protect the battery from freezing; Please keep the
wheelchair in a suitable environment. Please do not charge the
frozen battery, otherwise the battery may be damaged.
Overload / undervoltage fuse
This unit is designed for wheelchair safety by switching off and
on a protective circuit within the Lithium-ion battery. It will
immediately cut off power supply if the motor is overloaded
or the voltage is too low so as to protect motors and electrical
components from damage. To restore the fuse function, use the
charger to charge the wheelchair or replug the battery connector.

6.4 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.
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.
• 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 your product should give
sufficient range to cope with the majority of customer's
lifestyles.
