Have you ever considered that if you take care of your wheelchair battery, it will take care of you as well? The critical difference in making the most of a wheelchair lies in the proper management of a high-quality battery.

Conversely, if a battery is neglected, as a result the performance of the vehicle will turn into low. An unstable charge automatically leads to the depletion of your battery reserves. However, your hands are free if you prevent the situation with proper wheelchair battery maintenance.

If you want to run your routes without any problems, without worrying about its battery life, follow the guide below:

Choose high quality battery

Wheelchairs have deep discharge VRLA batteries. These are lightweight rechargeable batteries, significantly smaller than lead-acid batteries, highly efficient and last longer than any other. The point, however, that you should pay special attention to is the treatment of the battery, as they wear out easily. As we mentioned above, the perfect maintenance of a high-quality battery will make your life a lot easier.

Don't drain your wheelchair battery

It is known that none of us pay attention to the batteries of our devices. What you have to take seriously is that your wheelchair is not a mobile phone and inconsistency in taking care of its battery could be harmful to it.

It is recommended that you charge your wheelchair at every possible opportunity. Each battery needs about 50-100 charge cycles and a full charge cycle is from 100% to 0% and vice versa back to 100%.

If you want to achieve the longest battery life, we recommend keeping the charge level above 50%. If you want maximum life, then keep the charge above 80% all the time.

Get the right charger for your wheelchair

All batteries are compatible with specific chargers based on their technical specifications. This is also why you shouldn't use any charger you find in case yours is damaged.

Choose a charger suitable for the voltage, capacity and technology of your battery. You may think that the charger is working properly and doing its "job", but in the near future, you will regret this choice.

Tip: Do not worry about possible damage or destruction of your battery, as you can immediately carry out a service on your battery.

Pay attention to the temperature of your wheelchair battery

The recommended guideline for charging your wheelchair's battery states that it should always be done in a cool and ventilated area. Hot temperatures will weaken its power, especially when charging.

All wheelchairs, when purchased, come with a very comprehensive instruction manual, where all the details about the ideal charging conditions for your wheelchair battery are highlighted in detail.

So to summarize, the main points to maintain the high quality battery is to find the most suitable one and constantly pursue a stable charge in a cool environment with its "recognized" charger. This way you will have benefited from a perfect experience with your wheelchair.
