8.4 Charging Procedure
Battery Charging is via a socket within the joystick module. When a charger is plugged in, the
joystick unit recognises the unit is plugged in and chair driving is inhibited.
The following procedure is valid for the recommended charger brand - consult your separate charger
instructions if supplied with an alternative charger.
1. Ensure the wheelchair is turned off.
2. Always make sure that the charger is turned off before plugging it into the wheelchair.
3. Plug the charger into the charging socket on the joystick module.
4. Please consult the instruction manual supplied with your charger for detailed instructions
The following advice is recommended to help care for your batteries:
Avoid ultra-deep discharges (deep discharges reduce cycle life)
Don’t leave batteries at a low state of charge for an extended period of time (e.g. after a
day’s use fully recharge the batteries overnight)
After discharging the batteries to a low state of charge, recharge them fully (this may take
more than 8 hours)
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery. Doing so can result in personal injury and damage to the battery
STOP! Do not put the charger on the seat of the wheelchair when charging as the
charger can become quite warm. Always put the charger on the floor near the chair
when in use.
To get the maximum range from your batteries:
Fully charge the batteries prior to the trip
Ensure that the tyre pressures are correct for the weight and the terrain
Avoid stop-go driving; try to maintain a constant speed
Try to avoid inclines
Limit baggage weight carried
Do not operate the control system if the battery is nearly discharged. Failure to comply with this
condition may leave the user stranded in an unsafe position, such as in the middle of a road. Magic
Mobility accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
8.5 Battery Gauge
LCD screen Battery Gauge:
The batteries are charged if the battery gauge shows red, yellow and
green.
You should charge the batteries as soon as you can if the battery gauge
shows just red and yellow.
You should charge the batteries immediately if the battery gauge shows
just red, either steady or flashing slowly.
