The battery charger is designed for the 12 V gel batteries
installed in the C2000 power wheelchair. The charger can
operate along two characteristic curves to charge the re-
spective batteries. Upon delivery of the power wheelchair,
the matching characteristic curve will be set at the factory. If
the battery charger is to be used with another power wheel-
chair or if batteries with another capacity are installed, the
characteristic curve has to be checked.
