BATTERIES
WHEN TO CHARGE BATTERIES
(FIGURE 5)
It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only
when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the
charge level is maintained well above a low condition.

BATTERY GAUGE DISPLAY (BGD) - Located at the
front of the joystick housing provides information on the
remaining charge in the batteries. At full charge the BGD
will be Green. As the battery becomes discharged, the
BGD will become Yellow (Amber), then Red and finally
the BGD will flash ON and OFF Red. At this level, the
user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
(FIGURE 6)
NOTE: New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to ini-
tial use of the wheelchair.
WARNING
Always charge new batteries before initial use or
battery life will be reduced.
As a general rule, you should recharge your bat-
teries as frequently as possible to assure the long-
est possible life and to minimize the required
charging time. Plan to recharge them when you
do not anticipate using the wheelchair for a long
period of time.
Never attempt to recharge the batteries by at-
taching cables directly to the battery terminals
or clamps. Use the recharging plug located on
either the side of the wheelchair frame or on the
front of the joystick.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and
operate the power wheelchair at the same time.
