Batteries Smartie
The Shoprider Smartie PowerChair is the next generation Powerchair
with new Envirofriendly battery technology.
The Smartie’s battery, called Envirofriendly battery, is a phosphate
based lithium iron battery that is inherently safe for the environment.
The Envirofriendly battery has many features and benefits including:
• Virtually zero maintenance over the long life of the battery, saving
from high maintenance costs and wasted time
• Lightweight, high performance, high energy (2 times energy at same
size and three times energy at same weight as standard SLA
batteries)
• Outstanding charging cycles ability. Increased charging cycles at
80% depth of discharge and excellent deep discharge capability
• No battery memory effect. No loss of capacity at partial depths of
discharge/charge
• No battery damage on full depth of discharge. Realize full capacity
of battery: no wasteful over-sizing needed. Low capacity loss
discharge rates increase. More usable energy at high discharge
rates. No temporary voltage drop. Protects sensitive equipment from
damage
• Sleep mode (low self-discharge). No seasonal conditioning needed
for long term storage. No sudden death syndrome. Linear and
predictable battery fade is reliable down to 50% of original capacity
• No explosive hydrogen gassing. No corrosion on battery terminals.
No free electrolyte. No equalization charge needed. No wasted time
babysitting batteries. Flat discharges curve over time. Maintains
higher voltage/power even at end of charge
• Environmentally friendly. Below EPA toxicity (TCLP). No recycling
needed. Check and follow local laws governing proper disposal.
**
Note**Due to Smartie’s high energy battery, the VSI battery indicator will
show a full charge until batteries are close to complete discharge. It is highly
recommended that inactive users charge the batteries at least twice a week or
more and active users charge the batteries everyday. You cannot overcharge
the batteries. Charging usually takes no more than 2.5 hours for the Smartie but
can take up to 5 hours if battery pack is completely discharged.
• ** WARNING** Do not drop. Handle with care. Do not connect the terminals with
any foreign matter. Must charge up the battery with the factory approved charger.
Without factory written approval, do not modify, disassemble or use this battery
pack for any others purposes. Keep away from fire, heat or water.
