According to market research, nearly 30% of people’s electric wheelchairs have battery life of less than two years or even less than one year. In addition to some product quality issues, a large part of the reason is that people do not pay attention to daily maintenance during use, resulting in shorter battery life or damage.
In order to help everyone use electric wheelchairs better, YOUHA Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. has formulated three rules to make the batteries of electric wheelchairs more durable:
1. Do not charge the electric wheelchair immediately after long-term use. We know that when an electric wheelchair is running, the battery itself will heat up. In addition, the weather is very hot in summer and the battery temperature is too high. Charging immediately before cooling to normal temperature will increase the risk of water loss inside the battery, leading to bulging. Therefore, if the electric wheelchair works for a long time, the manufacturer of the barrier-free ramp recommends that the electric vehicle be parked for more than half an hour and the battery be fully cooled before charging.
2. Try to avoid charging the electric wheelchair for a long time. Electric wheelchairs can generally be charged for 8 hours, but many users often charge overnight for more than 12 hours for convenience. Bazhou electric wheelchair manufacturer reminds: Try to avoid charging for a long time, which will cause damage to the battery and cause the battery to bulge due to overcharging.
3. Do not use an unmatched charger to charge the electric wheelchair. Charging with an unmatched charger may damage the electric wheelchair’s charger or battery. For example, using a charger with a large output current to charge a small battery can easily cause the battery to overcharge and bulge. Therefore, if the charger is damaged, I recommend replacing it with a matching high-quality brand charger at a professional electric wheelchair after-sales repair shop to ensure charging quality and extend battery life.
