Battery use
The electric wheelchair uses a 24 voltage battery. It is a good idea to
carry a replacement 24V12AH battery, in case you need to charge the
one in use. This is a maintenance-free sealed lithium battery. The
batteries are designed to handle deep discharges. Although they are
similar in performance to car batteries, they cannot be replaced. Car
batteries are not safe for use in electric wheelchairs.
Battery charge and discharge
In order to maximize the efficiency of your wheelchair battery,
you should:
1.Fully charge your battery during initial use.
2.Start slowly when using the wheelchair in your home or on the
driveway.
3.Give your battery charge 4-6 hours, and then re-operate the
wheelchair.
4.After 4-5 cycles of charging and discharging, the battery effect can
reach 100%, and can continue for a long time.
Important information about the battery
Frequently charged batteries provide reliable performance and long
battery life. If the battery is not charged often or not fully charged, it
may cause damage to the battery permanently, causing unreliable
operation and reduced battery life.
If you do not often use your electric wheelchair, you must charge once
a month to maintain battery life.
If you want to ship your wheelchair, you must contact the shipping
company in advance to ensure that the wheelchair meets the special
requirements of the transport.
