DuPage Mobility Group shares some mobility equipment Battery Care Guidelines

• active users of electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters cycle 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
• batteries should be stored in a dry and cool place; temperatures should be between 60 - 120 F°
