VII. B ATTERIES AND C HARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your power chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
VII. B ATTERIES AND C HARGING WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information. To charge the batteries using the onboard charger: 1.
VII. B ATTERIES AND C HARGING Battery Break-In To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency: 1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level. 2. Operate your power chair about the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries. 3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again.
VII. B ATTERIES AND C HARGING How can I get maximum range or distance per charge? Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these factors affect the distance or running time per battery charge. The following are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge.
VII. B ATTERIES AND C HARGING How should I store my power chair and its batteries? If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once a week. If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment.
