Operation
For an optimal charging frequency the following applies:
n The batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
the remaining charge.
n It takes about 10 hours until a discharged battery (only
one, ashing segment) is completely charged. Subse-
quently, the power wheelchair can remain connected to
the charger without causing any problems; the charger
has a programmed recharge phase which ensures that
maximum battery capacity is maintained.
n For daily use, it is recommended to connect the charger
overnight so that the full capacity is available every day.
n If the wheelchair is not used for extended periods of time,
the batteries gradually discharge. When the power
wheelchair is not used for an extended period of time,
the battery will become discharged over time. It is there-
fore necessary to charge the batteries at least once a
week to maintain full battery capacity. We also recom-
mend removing the fuse when the power wheelchair is
not going to be used for an extended period of time.
n Total discharge of the batteries should be avoided.
n In order to ensure that the batteries are fully charged, the
control system of the power wheelchair must be turned
off during the charging process.
The following must be observed when charging the
batteries:
n Only the battery charger provided by Otto Bock may be
used for charging. Failure to comply will render the war-
ranty null and void.
n The voltage settings on the battery charger must corres-
pond to the voltage used in your country.
