• The depth of discharge affects the cycle life. The harder a battery has to work, the shorter is its life expectancy. Examples: - One deep discharge stresses the same as 6 normal cycles (green /orange display off). - The battery life is about 300 cycles at 80% discharge (first 7 LED off), or about 3000 cycles at 10% discharge (one LED off). The number of LED can vary depending on the remote type. • Under normal operation, once a month the battery should be discharged until all green and orange LED are off. This should be done within one day. A 16 hour charge afterwards is necessary as reconditioning. 7.2.8 Transporting Batteries The batteries supplied with your mobility device are not hazardous goods. This classification is based on the German GGVS Hazardous Goods Road Transport Ordinances, and the IATA/DGR Hazardous Goods Rail Transport / Air Transport Ordinances. Batteries may be transported without restrictions, whether by road, rail or by air. Individual transport companies have, however, guidelines which can possibly restrict or forbid certain transport procedures. Please ask the transport company regarding each individual case. 7.2.9 General Instructions on Handling the Batteries • Never mix and match different battery manufacturers or technologies, or use batteries that do not have similar date codes. • Never mix gel with AGM batteries. 60101831-A Controls System • The batteries reach their end of life when the drive range is significantly smaller than usual. Contact your provider or service technician for details. • Always have your batteries installed by a properly trained mobility device technician or a person with adequate knowledge.
