DuPage Mobility Group shares some more Mobility Equipment Battery Care Guidelines

​Following are some additional battery care guidelines for mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, foldable scooters, and motorized wheelchairs:

+ active users of electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters cycle (charge and use) their batteries daily
+ charge daily and as long as possible, even on days with low usage
+ the charger supplied with your mobility device should fully charge your batteries overnight
+ overcharging is NOT a problem as most mobility device chargers are voltage limited and shut off automatically
+ avoid ultra-deep discharges and never drain your batteries completely
+ do not leave your batteries in a low state of charge for an extended period of time
+ charge a discharged battery as soon as possible
+ always store your batteries fully charged
+ check all stored batteries once a month and recharge as necessary (even if they have not been used)
+ optimum storage temperature is 60°F
