when in use.

Fully charge the batteries prior to the trip
Avoid stop-go driving; try to maintain a constant speed
Try to avoid inclines
Limit baggage weight carried
7.4 Public Transportation
The Gel Cell batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing safe
transportation on aircraft, buses and trains. However, Magic Mobility recommends that any specific
requirements of the carrier are checked in advance. When flying with your wheelchair, please call
the airline for any specific information they need. Magic Mobility has a “flying with your wheelchair”
fact sheet on the website that covers most questions.
7.5 Battery Disposal and Recycling
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, contact your Magic Mobility Dealer for instructions
on disposal. Your Magic Mobility Dealer will also have all the necessary information on battery
recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
