ZZ6E6D4848.jpgElectric wheelchairs and mobility scooters may seem like the best thing ever invented for mobility-impaired individuals…up to the point where the battery dies. Unfortunately, it occurs more often than you think.

Often, users choose a battery based on price alone or don’t take in consideration that no battery lasts forever. That means, when it loses charge, you’re truly in a predicament, especially if you have to navigate a long distance or challenging terrain.

Batteries will definitely differ based on your wheelchair or scooter needs. While power wheelchairs are able to be operated without battery power, the rider may be unaccustomed or even physically or mentally unable in some cases to operate it effectively. And power wheelchair batteries add weight to the chair.

So, what should power wheelchair/scooter users consider when looking at a proper battery?

  1. For starters, they need to carefully consider how much they utilize the chair and the distance that they typically utilize. There are differences in power, and with that ranges in cost as well.
  2. Be careful to not overcharge a wheelchair battery. You may also want to consider a backup battery so that you are never left without the ability to be on the move if you need it.
