4.1 Charging the battery
The via GO's battery is permanently installed in its housing and cannot be removed from
it. The via GO can remain connected to the wheelchair when charging the battery.
• The batteries may only be charged in a dry room at temperatures of between 0° and
40 °C.
• Switch off the via GO.
• Apply the wheelchair brakes in order to secure it against rolling away inadvertently.
• Swing the cover [4] on the via GO to one side.
• Insert the charging plug [23] into the charger socket [5].
• Carry out the charging process as per the specifications in the operating manual
included with the charger.
• When you have finished charging: Swing the cover [4] over the charger socket [5] in
order to fully conceal it.
During charging, the charge status of the battery is shown on the display [14] as follows:
LED element
All LEDs are illuminated
14a to d are illuminated
14a to c are illuminated
14a and b are illuminated
14a is illuminated
14a flashes
All LEDs flash and the On/Off
button [13] flashes red
If an error occurs when charging the battery and the error cannot be rectified by
charging the battery again, please contact your specialist dealer.
Ensure that the charger plug [23] and the charger socket [5] are
clean and that there are no metallic particles inside them. If you
detect such particles, use a dry and clean cloth to remove them. For
details, see also chapter 7.2
If an error occurs during charging:
Check that all criteria (e.g. ambient temperature, properly connected
charging plug, etc.) for the charging process have been met in accor-
dance with this operating manual and the operating manual included
with the charger.
After charging, disconnect the charger from the mains socket first
and then disconnect it from the via GO.
If the via GO is connected to the wheelchair during charging, apply
the wheelchair brakes to prevent the wheelchair rolling away inad-
vertently.
As a matter of course, check the charge status of the battery before
the start of each trip. The battery should be fully charged before
starting your trip. This is to avoid an unintentional standstill caused
by an empty battery.
