Otto Bock C2000 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 155

The range of the power wheelchair is determined by the bat-
tery capacity. Many factors have an influence on the battery
capacity. In addition to the temperature, age of the batteries
and amount of use, the charging cycle has a pronounced
effect on the capacity and therefore on the range.
For an optimal charging frequency the following applies:
n The batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
the remaining charge.
n It takes about 10 hours until a discharged battery (low-
est segment in the battery symbol is flashing) is com-
pletely charged. Subsequently, the power wheelchair
can remain connected to the charger without causing
any problems; the charger has a programmed recharge
phase which ensures that maximum battery capacity is
maintained.
n For daily use, it is recommended to connect the charger
overnight so that the full capacity is available every day.
n When the power wheelchair is not used for an extended
period of time, the battery will become discharged over
time. It is therefore necessary to charge the battery at
least once a week to maintain full battery capacity. We
also recommend removing the fuse when the power
wheelchair is not going to be used for an extended period
of time.

n Total discharge of the batteries should be avoided.
n When the batteries are charging, the controls on the
power wheelchair must be switched off to allow the
charging current to be fed completely into the battery.
The following must be observed when charging the batter-
ies:
n Only the battery charger provided by Ottobock may be
used for charging. Failure to comply with this require-
ment will render the warranty null and void.
n The voltage settings on the battery charger must corre-
spond to the voltage used in your country.
