The Range Of Your Vehicle; Battery Warranty - Quickie Jive M2 Sedeo Ergo Manuel D'utilisation

WARNINGS!
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
• Do not rest a battery on top of the charger.
• Do not stand the charger on a carpet or other soft surface.
Always place it on a hard flat surface.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
a qualified technician.
• Never place the charger directly above the battery being
charg ed; gases from the battery will corrode and damage
the charger.
• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will
rarely freeze but the electrolyte of a discharged battery
can freeze
at -9° Centigrade. Any battery that is suspected of being
frozen should be thawed completely before charging.
• Never sit with the charger on your lap when charging your
batteries
• The charger casing will get hot during its normal operation.
• Do not disassemble charger; only have it repaired by the
manufacturers. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger
from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off the controls will not reduce the risk.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of
battery or charger.
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal
tool onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the
battery or other electrical parts that may cause an
explosion. Also take off all personal metal effects and
dangling objects when working on the battery.

12.8 The range of your vehicle

Please refer to the specification tables at the back of this
manual for Energy Consumption, (Maximum Range),
information.
Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range
of their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the
Owner's Manual. The range stated sometimes differs from
manufacturer to manufacturer even though the battery size is
the same. Sunrise Medical measure the range of their vehicles
in a consistent and uniform manner, but variances still occur
due to motor efficiencies and overall product load weight.
The range figures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176. Part
4: Wheelchair Energy Consumption Theoretical Range
This test is carried out in controlled conditions with new, fully
charg ed batteries, on a level test surface and a user weight of
100 kg. The range figures stated should be seen as a
theoretical maximum and could be reduced if any single, or
combination, of the following circumstances occur:
• User weight heavier than 100 kg.
• Batteries whose age and condition are less than perfect.
• The terrain is difficult e.g. very hilly, sloping, muddy
ground, gravel, grass, snow and ice.
• The vehicle climbs kerbs regularly.
• The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
• Incorrect tyre pressures in one or more tyres.
• Lots of start/stop driving.
• Also thick pile carpets within the home can affect range.
• Use of additional power consumption options (e.g. light,
actuators, etc.)
The battery sizes available on each Sunrise Medical product
should give sufficient range to cope with the majority of
customer's lifestyles.

12.9 Battery warranty

Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the
manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are subject
to a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely wear out
your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible to obtain a
replacement under warranty.
