The controller, which acts as the brain of the wheelchair converts these movements into electrical signals.

Battery Life

When shopping for a power wheelchair one of the most important factors to take into consideration is the battery's lifespan. A quality battery can last up to two years if it is maintained regularly and is regularly used. The type of battery also affects how far a wheelchair will travel on a single charge.

They can handle a variety of discharges and recharges without causing damage battery cells. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended charging practices that typically include overnight charging of the battery and avoiding letting it run completely empty.

The battery life is affected by the surface of the wheelchair. Smooth, level surfaces require less power to propel the wheelchair, which results in a longer battery longevity than rough terrains. If a wheelchair is used on rocky or bumpy surfaces the motors will need to work harder to maintain speed and stability, which consumes more energy and drains the battery faster.

The lifespan of batteries is impacted by its age and usage patterns. If a battery is getting old and starting to lose its ability to hold a charge, it may be time for a replacement. A newer battery will cut down on the time needed to charge a wheelchair and is likely to have more capacity.
