NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chairs
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.
How should I store my Power Chair and its batteries?
If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least
once per week.
If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the
battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such as freezing and
excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery. A cold or frozen battery should be warmed for several
days prior to recharging.
What about public transportation?
Sealed lead-acid and gel cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries
are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no
danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carriers ticket counter in advance to determine that carriers specific
requirements.
What about shipping?
If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power chair in the original
shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
