VIII. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If the off-board battery charger is
equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not allow unsupervised children
to play near the power chair while the batteries are charging.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If your off-board battery charger has
not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme
weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather
conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions
before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more
information.
To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:
1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Turn off the power to the controller and engage the manual freewheel lever(s) in the drive position. See III.
“Your Power Chair.”
3. Plug the 3-pin extension cable from the off-board battery charger into the off-board battery charger/program-
ming socket on the controller. See VII. “Operation.”
4. Plug the off-board battery charger into the electrical outlet.
NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that
power to the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it
is not a Pride off-board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet, then from the controller.
To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:
1. Position the rear of your power next to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See III.
“Your Power Chair.”
3. Slide the rear cover forward.
4. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the electrical outlet.
NOTE: The power chair incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger
is plugged into an electrical outlet.
5. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly
drops to zero.
NOTE: The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a
minute for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move
back down to 0 amps as the batteries charge.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near the zero mark on the ammeter scale.
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet, wind it up using the hook and loop strap, and place the cord
back into the electronics tray.
