– Output voltage: 24V/DC
– Output current: 2A/4A
4.2 Charger Use and Care
IMPORTANT:

• Do not stop charging until charge process is finished. Repeated use of a battery that is not fully charged will shorten the battery life. The battery should be fully charged before use.

• When battery is fully charged, the power indicator will turn to green.

• Do not interrupt or stop the charging process until the battery is fully charged.

• When charging is complete, turn off the power supply by unplugging the charger. Failure to unplug the unit after a full charge will cause the battery to slowly discharge. DO NOT charge more than 24 hours. Over charging the battery is dangerous.

• Users should follow the following rules to avoid charging dangers:
  If the electric wheelchair does not include the charger, please use a national standard charger with the output voltage of 24V/DC 4A.

Using the Joystick
The wheelchair moving direction is controlled by the joystick. The speed is controlled by how far the joystick is is moved from center.
Keeping the joystick closer to the center allows for slower speeds and Moving the joystick further from the center produces higher speeds.

• Batteries deteriorate over time, whether they’re being used or not.
• We suggest that after 30 partial charges, you allow for a complete discharge of the battery before recharging. This will allow for a recalibration of the power gauge.
• Gradual deterioration in performance will result if the battery has been left in a discharged state.

All warranty claims require proof of purchase and the serial number.
Note that your warranty does not cover these conditions:

• Functional problems: Issues related to normal use and aging such as surface coating and plating, natural fading of resins
