The Optional 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable
An optional 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable is available from Ventec
Life Systems. The 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable can be used to
connect V*Home to external sources of DC power, such as wheelchair
power outlets.
PRECAUTION: When connected to an external battery (such as a
wheelchair battery), V*Home pulls power from it to run and charge
its own batteries. This may affect battery life and/or wheelchair
performance (for instance, driving uphill).
When connected to wheelchair power for long periods of time, it may
be benecial to implement a supplemental energy use strategy. For
example, traveling with an AC power supply and/or additional, charged
V*Home removable batteries.
The 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable comes with a hook-and-loop
strap to manage excess cabling. Coil extra cabling between the outlet and V*Home, and then wrap the strap around the
cabling to secure it.
NOTE: Before connecting the 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable to a power source, you must verify the voltage and
current emitted from the DC power source are within the range of V*Home operating limits, and that the power source
has the correct connection type. See “External Power Requirements” on page 153.
