6.1 BATTERY
» The Crest CSS Power Chair uses two long-lasting, 12 volt, deep-cycle batteries.
These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is
handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to
automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not
designed to handle a long, deep discharge and are unsafe for use in
power chairs.
»
» Do not expose the battery to temperatures below -10°C or above 50°C when
charging or storing the power chair. Outside the above temperature range can
cause the battery either to freeze or overheat, causing damage and shortening
its life.
6. BATTERY CHARGING & CARE
