First, read the instruction manual carefully before operating your electric wheelchair for the first time. These instructions can help you understand the performance and operation of your power wheelchair, as well as proper maintenance. So this is a very necessary step, it can help you have a preliminary understanding of electric wheelchairs.

The second point, don’t use batteries with different capacities, and don’t use batteries of different brands and types. When replacing batteries, do not mix old and new batteries. Especially before charging the battery for the first time, please use up all the power in the battery before charging. The first charge must be fully charged (about 24 hours) to ensure that the battery is fully activated. Please note that if there is no power supply for a long time, the battery will be damaged, the battery cannot be used, and the electric wheelchair will be damaged. Therefore, please check whether the power supply is sufficient before use, and charge it in time when the power supply is insufficient.
