6.0 Baeries, charging and range

6.1 Baeries

Baeries are the power source for almost all of the modern

mobility products available today. The design of baeries used

in mobility products is signicantly dierent to the baeries

used to start a car for example. Car baeries are designed

to release a large amount of power over a short period of

me, whilst mobility baeries (commonly called deep cycle

baeries) release their power evenly, over a long period of

me. Therefore, due to the lower producon volumes and

increased technological requirements, mobility baeries are

typically more expensive.

Commonly two 12 volt baeries are used together in a

mobility product, giving a total voltage of 24 volts. The size

of the baery (e.g. its available power) is expressed in amps

per hour e.g. 70amp/hr. The higher the number, the bigger

the baery size, weight and, potenally, the greater the

distance you can travel. Sunrise Medical only t as standard

maintenance free baeries into these types of wheelchairs.

This type of baery uses a method of carrying the electrolyte

commonly referred to as ‘gel’, that is held within the baery

case. As the name implies, no maintenance is required other

than regular charging. You can safely transport this type of

baery without fear of acid spilling. Furthermore, they are

approved for transportaon on aircra, trains and ships.

CAUTION!

• Do not t car baeries to the wheelchair. Fit only deep cycle,

maintenance free mobility baeries.

• When the baeries are worn out, take them to the local

authority disposal point.

• Do not expose any part of the baery to direct heat (i.e.

naked ame, gas re).

• Be extra cauous to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool

onto the baery. It could spark or short circuit the baery

or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also

take o all personal metal eects and dangling objects when

working on the baery.

• Return the baeries back to Sunrise Medical or directly to

the baery manufacturer for recycling, when they no longer

hold charge.

• The baery terminals need to be checked regularly for

signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean

the terminals completely and re-grease the terminal using

Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary grease. Ensure that

the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and exposed cable are

completely covered with jelly.

DANGER!

• Do not expose any part of the baery to direct heat (i.e.

naked ame, gas re).

• Be extra cauous to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool

onto the baery. It could spark or short circuit the baery

or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also

take o all personal metal eects and dangling objects

when working on the baery.

DANGER!

• Do not, under any circumstances, tamper with the baeries.

If in any doubt contact your local Sunrise Medical authorised

dealer.

• Avoid contact with acid on damaged sealed type baeries or

wet baeries.

• Baery acid can cause burns to the skin as well as damage to

oors, furniture and your wheelchair.

• If baery acid comes into contact with the skin or clothing,

wash immediately with soap and water.

• If baery acid comes into contact with the eye, immediately

ood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes

and seek medical aenon immediately.

• Acid spills can be neutralised with baking soda and water.

• Take care to keep baeries upright at all mes, especially

when transporng your wheelchair.

Safety cut-outs

In the event of a short circuit there are several safety systems

built into your wheelchair to safeguard your electrical circuits,

(Fig. 6.1).

1. Fusible 100A links are connected into the baery harnesses

to protect the baeries and wiring.

2. 15A auxiliary power circuit fuses for auxiliary modules and

seang power supply.

To replace them contact your Sunrise Medical authorised

dealer, who will also diagnose the original fault.
