Getting the most from your Mobility
Batteries
Under normal everyday use, most
people need to charge their batteries every night. If the wheelchair is used
only occasionally, the batteries need to be charged every 2 weeks and should be
charged after every day use.
Battery failure is the most
frequent reason for electric wheelchairs to stop working or to start acting
erratically. Taking proper care of batteries is very important. Wheelchair
batteries are different from car batteries. A wheelchair battery is charged once
a day and supplies large amounts of electricity while it is running. Although
manufacturers provide their own durability numbers, most electric wheelchair
batteries last 1 good year - up to 2 years when properly maintained. The life of
a battery is very dependent on how heavily it was used.
DO and DO NOT'S from our
experience!
Always use the charger supplied
with your wheelchair. Make sure it is set to the proper battery type and proper
incoming voltage (US/EU 110/220V).
If you need to store your
wheelchair for a long period of time, it is best to charge your batteries at
least twice per month.
New batteries require
conditioning. For the first 6 to 10 charge/discharge cycles, do not heavily
discharge the batteries.
Do not use automotive (car)
battery chargers.
Do not excessively discharge the
batteries.
Do not top off with frequent
charges, as this is hard on the batteries.
Whenever you plug in the
charger, always check that the battery is charging, as indicated by a meter or
light. The charger plug is subject to a lot of stress, so be sure that the cord
and plug are in good condition.
Batteries and the
Weather
Extensive exposure to cold/hot
temperatures will severely cut the capacity of your batteries and may even
damage them. Some battery types cannot be recharged outside nominal temperature
range.
