Invacare® AVIVA™ FX l Pay attention to the Battery Charge Indicator! Charge the batteries when the Battery Charge Indicator shows that battery charge is low.How fast the batteries discharge depends on many circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition of the surface of the road, tire pressure, weight of the driver, way of driving and utilisation of lighting, if equipped. l Try to charge the batteries always before you reach the red LED range.The last 3 LED (one red and two orange) mean you have a remaining capacity of about 15%. l Driving with flashing red LED's means an extreme stress for the battery and should be avoided under normal circumstances. l When only one red LED is flashing, the Battery Safe feature is enabled. From this time, speed and acceleration is reduced drastically. It will allow you to move the mobility device slowly out of a dangerous situation before the electronic finally cuts off. This is deep discharging and should be avoided. l Be aware that for temperatures below 68°F (20°C), the nominal battery capacity starts to decline. For example, at 14°F (-10°C) the capacity is reduced to about 50% of the nominal battery capacity. l To avoid damaging the batteries, never allow them to be fully discharged. Do not drive on heavily discharged batteries if it is not absolutely necessary, as this will strain the batteries unduly and shorten their life expectancy. l The earlier you recharge the batteries, the longer they live. l The depth of discharge affects the cycle life. The harder a battery has to work, the shorter is its life expectancy.Examples: l One deep discharge stresses the same as 6 normal cycles (green /orange display off). l 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. l 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. 54 60101916-A

Pay attention to the Battery Charge Indicator! Charge the
batteries when the Battery Charge Indicator shows that
battery charge is low.How fast the batteries discharge
depends on many circumstances, such as ambient
temperature, condition of the surface of the road, tire
pressure, weight of the driver, way of driving and
utilisation of lighting, if equipped.
l
Try to charge the batteries always before you reach the
red LED range.The last 3 LED (one red and two orange)
mean you have a remaining capacity of about 15%.
l
Driving with flashing red LED’s means an extreme stress
for the battery and should be avoided under normal
circumstances.
l
When only one red LED is flashing, the Battery Safe feature
is enabled. From this time, speed and acceleration is
reduced drastically. It will allow you to move the mobility
device slowly out of a dangerous situation before the
electronic finally cuts off. This is deep discharging and
should be avoided.
l
Be aware that for temperatures below 68°F (20°C), the
nominal battery capacity starts to decline. For example, at
14°F (-10°C) the capacity is reduced to about 50% of the
nominal battery capacity.
l
To avoid damaging the batteries, never allow them to be
fully discharged. Do not drive on heavily discharged
batteries if it is not absolutely necessary, as this will strain
the batteries unduly and shorten their life expectancy.

The depth of discharge affects the cycle life. The harder a

expectancy.Examples:
