6.3. Batteries

Your foldable power wheelchair is fitted with Lithium Ion batteries.
If your foldable power wheelchair is not used for a longer period, you
must still charge the batteries (see Chapter 6.3.1) every 4 weeks,
otherwise the batteries could be damaged by deep discharge.
Before setting off each time, check the charge status of your batteries
by looking at the battery status display on your control unit. If the
battery status display is only showing three bars, do not travel on
long journeys and connect the battery charger to the foldable power
wheelchair immediately.
We recommend that you connect the charger to the foldable power
wheelchair after every trip.

accordance with Chapter 5. or provided by B+B dealer).

Only use batteries which are approved for this foldable power
wheelchair (see Chapter 5).
Make sure that the foldable power wheelchair is switched off, before

The batteries are located underneath the seat, protected by the battery
housing (Fig. 18).

dispose of the batteries with household waste. When
you buy new batteries, old batteries will be taken
back by the dealer and disposed of properly!
