Battery Care

Here are some simple rules for proper battery charging. 

  • Use the scooter/powerchair manufacturer's charger for all routine charging. Leave your charger turned on whenever possible, you cannot over charge a battery)
  • Never run your battery completely flat. 
  • Charge your battery regularly, even if not using your equipment. 
  • Daily users should charge their batteries daily, preferably for at least 8-10 hours (smaller batteries), 10-12 hours (larger batteries).
  • Infrequent users (once or twice a week for short distances), should charge their batteries once a week for at least 10 hours. 
  • if you are not using your equipment, you should charge your batteries once a fortnight for at least 10 hours. 
  • DO NOT UNDERCHARGE, this may damage the batteries if operated over a long period of time with insufficient charge, thereby reducing the efficiency and the distance you can travel. 
The distance you can expect from fully charged batteries will be greatly influenced by motor, weight of user and terrain. 

Some sample distances are: 

12amp batteries ~ 6-8 miles

18amp batteries ~ 8-10 miles 

35amp batteries ~ 15-18 miles 

50amp batteries ~ 20 miles

75amp batteries ~ 20-22 miles
