The wheelchair is equipped with quality Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are a
modern technology which is not suffering from memory effects like some older
battery types, which means that Lithium batteries can be charged anytime, also e.g.
if they were only half discharged. It is recommended to charge the battery after each
use. This will not reduce the battery life. Charging an empty battery takes about 6
hours and it will take less time if there is still charge remaining in the battery. Please
note the wheelchair may have a lower top speed when the batteries are near empty.
Battery Care & Storage
Lithium batteries must not be stored if fully discharged. If your battery is fully
discharged, charge it as soon as possible. Storing the battery if fully discharged for
more than 1 day will damage the battery. Such damage is not covered by the
manufacturer’s fault warranty. It is recommend to store the batteries fully charged
and then charge it every two months. It is not necessary to leave the charger
connected to the battery if stored for long periods. Just top the charge up every two
months.
