How to Charge Wheelchair Batteries to Get The Most Value From Them

Batteries are expensive...
If you don't look after them, it's a costly repair. This video goes through how to best charge your wheelchair batteries to get the most range and lifespan out of them.
𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐩:💡 When you put your chair on charge - make sure it is getting power. If the chair is plugged in but there is no electrical power going through, it will actually draw power out of the battery. So by the time you go to use your chair, it will be dead flat. So, to make sure it is charging:
✔️ Make sure it is plugged all the way in
✔️ Make sure the power from the wall is on
✔️ Make sure the cable is plugged into the charger box
Good indication of this is by checking the battery box and seeing if the LED lights are on. This is one of the most common errors someone can make that can have a devastating impact on the wheelchair.
