11. BATTERY
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The battery’s life and performance may be affected by temperature, condition of the battery, and the weight of the user. Charging the battery continuously for a long duration before the first use can reduce the battery’s service life. It is recommended that you charge the battery for the first time, when the lowest level of the LED light on the control panel flashes. When charging a new battery for the first time, it must be fully charged (about 24 hours) in order to fully activate the battery.
Always check if the battery is fully charged before use. The regular charging time is about 5 hours. But if the power is fully run out it may take 10-12 hours to charge fully until the red LED on the charger turns green. Thus the recommended charging time for the battery is 8-12 hrs.
When not using the chair for a long duration, charge the battery full every 2 months. If the battery is left uncharged for a long period of time, it will damage the battery permanently.

11. BATTERY
Over-discharge Protector The lithium battery will be permanently damaged, if the battery’s capacity has been completely discharged. Therefore, the Foldalite Trekker is equipped with an over-discharge protector. When the lithium battery is running out, the protector will cut off the circuit automatically and the controller will stop working. When the lowest level red LED light on the battery level indicator flashes, it means that the batteries need to be charged. When there is no red LED light on battery level indicator, it means that the batteries must be charged within 2 hours immediately. If not, the battery may not be activated permanently. The charging time after over-discharge takes 10-12 hours.
When the lowest level red LED light flashes, the
Over-current Protector The Foldalite Trekker is also equipped with an over- current protector. If the current supplied to the motor is too high, the over- current protector will cut off the current supply. If crossing over a slope over 12o or the load is over 255 lbs or the motor rotation is jammed, the over-current protector will be activated and the chair’s control will cut off the circuit to prevent over current and overheating of the motor. The red LED light on the control panel will flash and the buzzer will sound. Battery Socket Cleaning · Check the battery pack and the positive and negative poles for any corrosion. If any, clean
with battery cleaning tools, steel brush or medium sand paper. · When cleaning, Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals. If contacted,
short-circuit or electric shock may occur and cause bodily injury. CAUTION! Do not allow the acidic substance inside the battery comes into contact with your skin, clothes or other items. The substance is extremely hazardous and may cause serious burn. When contacted, immediately flush your skin with cold water and seek medical attention.
