Daily Use
If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the battery as soon as you are finished using your
power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is
recommended that you charge the battery at least 4 hours after daily use. We recommend that you
charge your battery for an additional 1 hour after the battery charger indicates that charging is
complete.
NOTE: The battery condition meter on your power chair controller displays an approximate
reading of battery strength. Refer to Table 1 for battery condition meter codes.
Infrequent Use
If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the battery at least
once per week for 12 to 14 hours.
NOTE: Keep your battery fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your battery. Refer to the
manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or
curves. More often you are presented with hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces,
curves, and wind. All of these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below
are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge:
