Battery Size
Batteries function as a power wheelchair’s
•
fuel tank. The larger the group size, the
farther the wheelchair will go.
Use the size speci
fi
ed by the wheelchair
•
manufacturer. Never use undersized
batteries.

Deep-cycle batteries are designed to
•
be discharged and recharged on a
regular basis.
Starting or automotive type batteries
•
use a rapid burst of power to start an
engine and are quickly recharged by an
alternator or generator. They are rated
by cold cranking amps, a measure
that has no relevance to wheelchair
application.
Marine and RV batteries frequently are
•
not deep-cycle as they are often used
for starting engines.
Only use Deep-Cycle sealed type
•
batteries in a wheelchair.
