Maintenance and Repairs<br />
General Batteries/Storage<br />
• Note that a battery drains on its own and a discharged battery can freeze and<br />
burst when it is cold. If the wheelchair must be stored without being used for<br />
a long period of time, the batteries should always be charged up once per<br />
month so that they do not incur any damage.<br />
• The wheelchair must not be stored in a room where condensation arises<br />
(mist or dampness on the surfaces) e.g. laundry rooms or similar rooms.<br />
• The wheelchair can be stored in an unheated room. What is best for the<br />
wheelchair from a corrosion standpoint is that the room be some degrees<br />
warmer than its surroundings, which keeps the room drier.<br />
• If the wheelchair is equipped with acid batteries(liquid electrolyte), the acid<br />
level should be checked regularly. If the wheelchair is equipped with GEL<br />
batteries, the fluid level need not be checked.<br />
• The lifespan of the batteries depends entirely upon regular charging.<br />
Short-term storage<br />
In order for the charging procedure to give a battery with good capacity, the<br />
temperature in the storage room must not be lower than 41 F. Storage at under 41<br />
F increases the risk of the battery not being fully charged when it is to be used<br />
as well as increasing the risk of corrosion.<br />
Long-term storage<br />
Storage can occur in an unheated room, however the battery should be maintenance-charged<br />
at least once per month.<br />
m WARNING!<br />
Observe care in the use of metallic objects when working with batteries. A short-circuit can easily<br />
cause an explosion. Always use safety gloves and protective eye-glasses.<br />
