Pro Tip If your battery isn't holding a charge for as long as it used to, it could be time to change the battery.
Because wheelchair and mobility scooter batteries are "deep cycle" batteries, they should be fully discharged before you recharge them. Most batteries can be recharged hundreds of times before they lose their power capacity and need to be replaced. Fully charging an electric mobility battery typically takes about 8 hours.
Keeping your wheelchair battery or mobile scooter battery charged means using the correct battery charging leads and charging unit. If you happen to use the wrong battery charger for your type of wheelchair battery, you risk causing permanent damage to the battery.

While most wheelchair and mobility scooter batteries are manufactured to be quite durable, they can occasionally be damaged. Over time, undercharging your battery can damage it. Giving your mobile scooter battery a short burst of charge between uses may top up the power supply, but it can also damage the cells inside the battery itself, making it difficult to hold charge in the long run. It’s recommended that batteries are charged overnight after a day of use.
