How the Battery Works
3 battery components, power your wheelchair:
- Ampere-hours (Ah) measures how long the battery can operate. The average chair operates at 10 amps, the average battery has 30 to 90 Ah, so the chair can operate between 3 to 9 hours.
- Amperes (A) measures the rate of the batteries current, higher amps means better performance when more power is needed, up hills, uneven terrain, etc.
- Cell type refers to the battery makeup. Wet and Gel are the typical wheelchair battery types, both are efficient.
- Wet-cell batteries often have a bigger capacity, can supply more electrical power, and generally are less expensive, but require some maintenance. Disabled individuals may have an issue adding water to a wet cell battery, this can be dangerous since they will be exposed to acid every time the cell is opened.
- Gel is a sealed battery, maintenance free and there is no chance of chemicals spilling. Gel-cell batteries cost more and have less capacity.
Charging
Every power wheelchair has a battery charger; we will help confirm the battery you purchase is compatible with your charger. Wheelchair batteries are “deep cycle” batteries, and can be recharged up to 300 times prior to a noticeable loss of power.
