Battery Battery Safety: Do not use batteries with different amp-hour (Ah) capacities. Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals. If contacted, short-circuit or electric shock may occur and cause injury. - Page 15 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 do not charge the battery for the first time, until the lowest level of the LED light on the control panel flashes.
- Page 16 Battery Mounting the Battery: • Hold the battery grip and plug in the battery with the battery bottom aligned to the mouth of the battery holder. When a click sound is heard, the battery has been mounted correctly. Charging the Battery: The battery can be charged with normal AC power (AC 110-220 V, 50-60 Hz).
- Page 17 Note: When the lowest level red LED light flashes, the batteries need charging. Over-Current Protector: Foldalite 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 supply. If ascending over a slope over 12º, or the load is over 253lbs, 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 overcurrent and overheating of the motor.
