When we go out, there will be no transportation problems in short-distance use, but for people who need to travel or travel, the portability of electric wheelchairs is very important. This is not only the challenge of weight and volume, but also the comprehensive challenge of electric wheelchairs.
1. Wheelchairs or other electric mobility tools with sealed batteries
For wheelchairs or other electric mobility tools equipped with sealed batteries, as long as the battery has been removed, the poles of the battery have been insulated to prevent accidental short circuits and the battery has been firmly installed on the wheelchair or electric mobility tools. It can be transported by air as checked baggage.
Note: For wheelchairs or mobility tools using gel-type batteries, as long as the two poles of the battery have been insulated to prevent accidental short circuits, the battery does not need to be removed.
2. Wheelchairs or mobility aids with unsealed batteries.
(1) Wheelchairs and other electric mobility tools equipped with unsealed batteries should be safely loaded and unloaded in a vertical state, and the battery should be disconnected to prevent short circuits, and the batteries should be firmly fixed on wheelchairs and mobility tools . If the wheelchair and the means of transport cannot be loaded and unloaded in the vertical state, after removing the battery, they can be transported in the cargo hold as checked baggage. The removed battery should be stored in the following hard packing box:
A The packaging must be able to prevent battery fluid from leaking, and appropriate measures should be taken to fix it and keep it vertical when loading;
B The battery should be placed vertically in the package without short circuit, and ensure that there is enough absorbent material in the package to absorb the leaking liquid;
C The packaging must be marked with “wet battery, wheelchair (BATTERY, WET, WITH WHEELCHAIR)” or wet battery, means of transportation (“BATTERY, WET, WITH MOBILITY AID)”, and labeled with “corrosion” and “up” .
Through the improvement of the electric wheelchair through the above methods, the portability of the current electric wheelchair has been greatly improved, and its scope of use has been expanded, so that the disabled will no longer be bound by distance in the future, and they can better roam between life.
