How can I insure maximum battery life?
A fully charged, deep cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life, so
whenever possible, keep your batteries fully charged.
EAGLE CAUTION: Batteries that are regularly deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or
stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable operation and
limited life.
How should I store my powerchair and batteries?
If you plan on not using your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI for an extended period, it is best to fully charge
the batteries prior to storing. Disconnect the battery terminal and store the unit in a warm, dry
environment. Avoid extreme temperatures, freezing conditions and never attempt to charge a frozen
battery. A frozen battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.
What are my limits on public transportation?
Sealed Lead Acid and Gel Cell batteries are designed for application in powerchairs and other
mobility vehicles. They are FAA approved, allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and
trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the ticket counter in
advance to determine the carrier’’ specific requirements.
If you wish to ship the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI to your destination by a freight company, repack the
LIBERTY™ 624 MINI in the original shipping container and ship your batteries in separate boxes.
Only use Sealed Lead Acid or Gel Cell type batteries which are maintenance free. Do not use wet
cell batteries in which the caps are removable.
