12.6 Maintenance free battery care plan
CAUTIONS!
1. Only use an approved Sunrise Medical charger
compatible with the vehicle to be charged.
2. Charge your batteries every night, regardless of the
amount of use your mobility device has had during the
day.
3. Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
4. If your mobility device is not required for use, it should
remain connected to the charger until required. This
will not damage your batteries, as long as the mains
socket/plug is left switched on. Turning the mains
socket/plug off, but leaving the mains cable plugged
in will eventually deplete your battery charge.
5. If you leave your vehicle for an extended period (more
than 15 days) charge the batteries fully and then
disconnect the main battery lead.
6. Failure to allow for recharge will damage the batteries
and can lead to shortened distances and premature
failure.
7. Do not top up the charge of your batteries during the
day. Wait until the evening for a full overnight charge.
8. As a general rule, maintenance free batteries take
longer to fully charge than “wet” lead acid batteries.
9. The battery terminals need to be checked regularly
for signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent,
then clean the terminals completely and re-grease the
terminal using Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary
grease. Ensure that the terminal nut and bolt, cable
clip and exposed cable are completely covered with
jelly.
10. Following all the points above should result in a
healthier battery, greater range for the vehicle user
and a longer life for your batteries.
11. Return the batteries back to Sunrise Medical or
directly to the battery manufacturer for recycling,
when they no longer hold charge.
12.7 General charger information
The external charger has been designed to charge two
12V Gel type batteries connected in series (= 24 V).
12.7.1 Charger safety features
The chargers have features which prevent hazards or
accidents occurring as a result of connecting batteries
the wrong way round, overheating caused by fault
conditions or attempting to charge wrong voltage
batteries.
The majority of charger sizes are electrically double
insulated and no earth connection is required. Some
larger sizes may be electrically earthed and this will be
clearly stated on the label.
The 3 pin UK mains input plug contains a replaceable
fuse. The rating of this fuse is shown on the charger
label.
DANGER!
• As with all mains powered electrical equipment,
always replace blown fuses with the same type and
size of fuse as specified.
• Fitting of different fuses can result in an increased
fire risk, damage to the charger or failure of the
charger to operate properly.
If your charger has been specified for use in Continental
Europe it will contain a European two pin plug which
does not have a fuse. In this case the fuse is located in
the fascia panel of the charger.
