How can I ensure maximum battery life?

A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power

chair’s 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.

NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

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?

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These

batteries allow safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We

suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s 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.
