Charging the Batteries 

Only use the Charger supplied with the wheelchair. 
Your Charger is equipped with dual voltage, (i.e.115v and 230v) 
ensure the Charger is set to the appropriate voltage compatible 
with your Mains Supply, Fig.28a. 
The  Charger  is  intended  for  interior  use  only  and  must  be 
protected from moisture. Always charge your Batteries in a well 
ventilated area. 
If the wheelchair is to be taken out of service for a long period of 
time,  it  is  recommended  that  arrangements  are  made  for  the  Batteries  to  be 
charged at least once every month. 

 
Depending  on  the  condition  of  the  Batteries,  charging 
can take between 4 and 10 hours to fully charged. This 
will be indicated by the light status on the charger end 
panel, changing to green.  

NOTE: 

Charging  for  longer  than  necessary  will  not 

harm  the  Batteries,  however,  it  is  recommended  that 
the  Batteries  are  charged  for  8  to  10hours  after  daily 
use,  but  not  charged  continuously  for  more  than 
24hours. 
  

Charging Instructions 

Park  your  wheelchair  close  enough  to  a  Mains  power 
socket  outlet,  to  enable  the  Charger  mains  cable  to 
reach  the  socket  and  the  Charger  power  cord  (with 
round plug) to safely reach the socket on the underside 
of the Remote Controller, Fig.28b. 

Connect  the  Charger  Power  Cable  to  the  Remote  Controller,  Fig.28b  and  plug 
Mains cable into the Mains 240v socket. Switch-on at the socket. 

 

One Orange and one Green light will illuminate when the Charger is switched “ON”, 

Fig.29a. 
When  the  Orange  light  changes  to  Green,  the 
charging process is complete, Fig.29b 

The  Green  power  light  will  stay  “ON”  until  the 

power  is  disconnected  and  the  Charger  power 
cord is removed from the wheelchair. 
Please  also  refer  to  the  instruction  sheet 
supplied with Battery Charger.    

 

Disposal and Recycling of used Batteries and Electrical Equipment 

Batteries and Electrical Equipment must always be correctly recycled and 
under no circumstances should they be disposed of with domestic refuse. 
You can assist in  helping to preserve the environment  by returning your 
used  Batteries  or  Electrical  Equipment  to  your  local  approved  collection 
and recycling point, which is normally run by your local council.  
For  information  on  the  location  of  your  nearest  Battery  recycling  point, 
please contact your local government authority. 
RMS  Ltd  is  an  environmentally  aware  supplier  that  complies  wherever 
possible with the 

WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
