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?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your power chair, you must contact in advance the transportation provider
to determine their specific requirements. See II. "Safety" for details on motor vehicle transport.
Sealed lead-acid and gel cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and in other mobility vehicles. Generally,
sealed lead-acid batteries are safe for all forms of transportation such as aircraft, buses, and trains. We suggest that you contact
your transportation provider to determine specific requirements of transportation and packaging.
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.
