13.Battery and Charging Information General information Batteries are the power source for almost all of the modern mobility products available today. The design of batteries used in mobility products is significantly different from the batteries used to start a car for example. Car batteries are designed to release a large amount of power over a short period of time, whilst mobility batteries (commonly called deep cycle batteries) release their power evenly over a long period of time.
It is recommended that the batteries are always transported and stored upright. Only use batteries supplied by an authorized dealer. Battery care We have set out a battery care plan for maintenance free batteries. If a different care plan is followed, this may result in lower than expected performance from your mobility vehicle. Note: Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat and when charging always place on a hard surface in a room with good ventilation.
Caution! Take care not to short circuit the battery terminals. Remove all conductive jewelry (e.g. watches, necklaces etc.) before checking the batteries. 9. Following all the eight points above should result in a healthier battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for your batteries. 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.
