For electric-powered mobility devices such as Mobility Scooters & powerchairs, you want & need them to be available to use all day, every day.
However, to achieve this, you will benefit from reading and following the tips & advice shown below.
Not following these simple guidelines may mean your mobility device may suffer from poor performance & battery life. Causing you to have to charge your batteries multiple times in a day which is not ideal or in the worst case, replace your batteries!
When your new batteries arrive, ensure they are fully charged. They won’t last as long if you don’t fully charge a new deep-cell battery before usage.
Ask about the battery’s charge level and take suitable action. If you purchase a motorised scooter or powerchair from Dubai Mobility – it will be fully charged and ready to go from the moment you take delivery.
Allow the battery to keep 70% power during the first ten days after purchase. When you charge after utilizing 30% of the power in the first ten days, the deep-cell battery will stay charged for a longer period.
The optimal charging temperature is 18-25 C Experiment with this range only if the battery manufacturer recommends it. Batteries suffer from 30°C temperatures, and charging the battery below 10°C will cause it to malfunction.
Charging at high temperatures shortens the battery’s life.
One of the best battery maintenance ideas is to charge your device every night. This may extend the battery life by charging them fully overnight and not dropping below 50% capacity. This will ensure longer battery life.
Don’t let your battery go below 80%. The battery cells will be harmed if you reach only 20% before charging. If you travel long distances, you should plan an annual budget for battery replacement.
The batteries may have problems because of how they were put in. If you want the best outcome, hire experts to help you with the installation process. Then everything will be in the right order.
If you use an electric wheelchair, have a consistent driving speed. Inconsistent driving can shorten the battery’s life. Driving at a steady pace helps prolong the battery’s life.
Don’t use a charger that isn’t advised for your battery. If you have a dead battery while out with your electric wheelchair and you don’t have your charger, never use an incorrect charger to revive it. The charger will be ruined, and the battery life will be shortened. If you’re stuck, contact the battery manufacturer for help.
When using the power chair, expect unpredictable performance and battery life. You will shorten the battery’s life if you do not charge it regularly. Even while storing the battery, charge it randomly in order to prolong its shelf life. Charge your narrow-motorized wheelchair’s battery before storing it. Disconnect the battery connections and keep them somewhere warm and dry. Anything above or below the right temperature will shorten the battery’s life and performance. Keep them clear of danger zones.
Read the battery’s handbook and follow the care instructions; no two chairs’ maintenance advice is the same, and each battery has its own care instructions. The battery is vital to the electric wheelchair’s life, so invest time in learning its care suggestions; you may obtain real-time help from the model. If you know how to care for lead-acid batteries, you won’t be able to care for lithium-ion or deep-cycle batteries the same way. After having the necessary information, you won’t have problems with a dead battery.

A closer examination of a battery reveals that it comprises three key components.
An electric battery’s capacity is an important factor for the battery. This indicates the battery’s capacity in amp-hours and how fast it can charge.
The current rating measures the flow of electrons across the cell in amperes. The chair will likely not deliver the best performance if you go over rocky terrain with high-amperage batteries.
There are two main “cell types” of battery cells; you may utilize one of the two in your wheelchair. Manufacturers favour gel-cell models because they avoid environmental and maintenance issues associated with wet-cell models.
Most batteries may be recharged 300 times (approx) before they start losing power.
As mobility scooters continue to gain popularity as a reliable means of transportation for individuals with limited mobility, choosing the right scooter becomes crucial.
