Battery Indicator

The battery indicator displays different functions:
When in driving mode, the indicator is lit on a steady basis and shows the remaining
battery capacity. The indicator consists of 7 segments, each segment representing
approximately 14 % of the total capacity. With a distance range of approx. 35 km on
even ground at constant speed, each segment corresponds to a distance range of
approx. 5 km.
Information regarding correct use of the battery indicator:
Immediately after switching on, the indicator shows the battery capacity status saved
before the wheelchair was switched off the last time.
The exact state of the remaining capacity will be displayed after driving for a short
moment.

Charging

The batteries' capacity determines the distance range of the B600 power wheelchair.
Many factors have an influence on the batteries' capacity. Besides the temperature,
the age of the batteries and the time and extent of driving, the way you charge the
batteries has considerable effects on the capacity and thus on the distance range.
Driving over a longer period of time with only the red LEDs of the battery indicator lit
will result in battery discharge and thus battery damage. In addition, there is the risk
that the B600 may stop due to zero battery capacity and bring the user into a
dangerous situation.
If the B600 power wheelchair is used daily, we recommend connecting the battery
charger over night to always obtain full capacity and thus the maximal distance range.
If the B600 is not used for a longer period of time, a charging cycle must be carried
out once a week to maintain the batteries' capacity.
