OPTIMIZE YOUR CHARGING

Wondering how to best charge your Eloflex? Find out how to increase the lifetime of your batteries and extend your driving range.

HOW TO CHARGE

Start by turning off your Eloflex (all lights on the joystick should be off). Use original Eloflex chargers only.

Plug the charger into the socket at the front of the joystick and ensure proper contact alignment. Then, plug the charger's power cable into a wall outlet.

Charging status is indicated by the charger’s light. A red light indicates that charging is in progress. After about three hours, the batteries are 90% charged. The wheelchair can now be used again.

After 5-8 hours, the charger’s lamp will turn green, indicating that the batteries are fully charged. During charging, the charger itself will become warm, which is perfectly normal.

For maximum battery lifetime, charging should be done for about five hours when the battery indicator bar on the joystick is reduced to one third (when three of the lights have disappeared).

Regular maintenance charging does not harm the batteries. However, for maximum batter lifespan, we recommend unplugging the charger when the batteries reach full capacity.
