Answering your Battery Charger Questions
How does my charger work?
When the battery voltage is low, as indicated by your battery level display on your controller, the
charger recharges the voltage power to bring up the battery charge. As the battery voltage approaches
full charge, the charger does not work as hard to complete the charging cycle. When the battery is
fully charged, the yellow indicator light on the charger turns green.
Can I use a different battery charger?
Eagle parts and Products does not recommend using a different battery charger. For the most
efficient and even charging of the batteries, we prefer simultaneous charging of both batteries by the
supplied LIBERTY™ 624 MINI charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors should be considered when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use
your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for several weeks. Driver
and baggage weight, smooth or rough terrain, flat areas or inclines and speed are all considerations
for determining how often to charge the batteries.
Keeping these factors in mind you should consider how often and for how long you should charge?
The charger is designed to prevent overcharging of the batteries. This way the only problem you
may encounter is not charging your batteries on a regular basis. It will not harm your batteries if you
charge them everyday. By following these suggested guidelines your batteries will provide safe and
reliable operation.
1. If you use your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI within a day: Charge the powerchair as soon as you finish
using it. The charger is fully automatic so it will not overcharge your batteries. Your powerchair
will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service.
2. If you use your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI infrequently (once a week or less): Charge the
powerchair at least once per week for 12-14 hours. Eagle reminder : Keep your batteries fully
charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
On most occasions you will not have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat terrain with no wind,
hills or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed
surfaces, curves and wind. All these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge.
The following are a few suggestions for obtaining maximum range per charge:
