VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
WARNING! Prevent product damage! Use the battery box charging port for battery charging only
after the battery box has been completely removed from the Go-Chair.
4. Plug the off-board charger into the wall outlet.
NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two LEDs in it. Refer to the supplied charger manual for
information on LED indications. If it is not a Pride off-board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by
the manufacturer.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the wall outlet and then from the battery box.
6. Reinstall the battery box to the power base.
Battery Break-in
To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.
2. Operate your Go-Chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and don’t travel too far until you become accustomed
to the controls and break in the batteries.
3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your Go-Chair again. The batteries will now perform at over 90%
of their potential.
4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the charger work?
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC
(direct current). The Go-Chair batteries use direct current to run your Go-Chair. When the battery voltage is low, the
charger works harder to charge the battery).
Can I use a different battery charger?
You should use the charger supplied with the Go-Chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not
recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).
NOTE: Your travel chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero
voltage. If this happens, call an authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your Go-Chair all day on a
daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
! Daily Use
If you use your Go-Chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your Go-Chair.
Your Go-Chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the
batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
! Infrequent Use
If you use your Go-Chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week
for 12 to 14 hours.
