SECTION 10-BATTERIES When to Charge Batteries NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.4. MKIV-A and MKIV-RII Joysticks The Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI) is a bar graph display located on the MKIV joystick. It will keep you informed as to power availability. A visual warning is given before the power becomes too low to operate the wheelchair. At full charge the two Left segments and the farthest Right segment of the bar graph will be illuminated. As the battery becomes discharged, the farthest Right segment will progressively move to the Left until only the last two bars (Left) are illuminated. At this level the last two bars (Left) will start to Flash On and Off to indicate that the end user should charge the batteries as soon as possible. MKIV-A+ Joysticks The left half of the second line on the LCD is the Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI). It provides information on the remaining charge in the batteries. At full charge solid blocks fill in all ten segments between E (Empty) and F (Full). As the battery becomes discharged, the farthest right segments will progressively disappear a half bar at a time until no segments appear between E and F. At this level the word RECHARGE will appear on the second line to indicate that the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.

It will keep you informed as to power availability. A visual warning is given before the
power becomes too low to operate the wheelchair. At full charge the two Left segments
and the farthest Right segment of the bar graph will be illuminated. As the battery
becomes discharged, the farthest Right segment will progressively move to the Left until
only the last two bars (Left) are illuminated. At this level the last two bars (Left) will start
to Flash On and Off to indicate that the end user should charge the batteries as soon as

MKIV-A+ Joysticks
The left half of the second line on the LCD is the Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI). It
provides information on the remaining charge in the batteries. At full charge solid blocks
