XI. BATTERIES & CHARGING

BATTERY RANGE

There are many factors that affect the range of your batteries, including the surfaces,

inclines, curves, or wind you encounter when operating your power wheelchair. If not

ideal conditions, all of these factors will reduce the travel time or distance between

charges. Follow these suggestions for maximum range:

SUGGESTION – Fully charge the batteries prior to any trip, and plan your

trip in advance to avoid inclines.

SUGGESTION – Limit baggage and accessory weight to essential items, and

maintain an even speed avoiding stop-and-go driving.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Sealed lead acid AGM or gel-cell batteries are designed for use in power wheelchairs.

These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved. Since there is no

danger of spillage or leakage, this allows for safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and

trains.

SUGGESTION – When transporting your power wheelchair on public

transportation contact your carrier’s ticket counter in advance to

determine their specific requirements.
