Yes, the Kerdom DX05 Pro supports both charging methods. This is one of its key convenience features.
Here is the breakdown of how it works:
1. Charging from the Hand Controller (On-Board)
Yes, you can charge it directly from the hand controller (joystick).
How: There is a charging port located underneath the joystick controller. You simply plug the charger into this port, and it will charge the battery while it is still attached to the wheelchair.
Best for: Daily use when you park the chair near an outlet.
2. Charging Off-Board (Directly to Battery)
Yes, you can remove the battery and charge it separately.
How: You can slide the battery box out of the chair. The battery itself has a charging port that allows you to plug the charger directly into it.
Best for:
Travel/Storage: If you want to leave the wheelchair in your car trunk or garage, you can just bring the lightweight battery inside your house to charge.
Flying: Since you need to remove the battery for gate-checking at the airport anyway, this makes it easy to keep it charged while you wait at the terminal.
