How to maintain the battery and controller of an electric wheelchair?

A collection of simple and important tips for maintaining the battery and controller of an electric wheelchair

First, ways to preserve the battery:

– In the case of purchasing an electric wheelchair for the first time, or in general when purchasing a new electric wheelchair

It must be taken into account that the battery has a charge for testing, so you must use the chair until the battery is empty and then recharge it.

Note that the first battery charge takes a long period of 7 to 8 hours

– What is dangerous for some people is using the electric chair for a short distance or a simple walk, for example 3 or 4 km

Upon returning home, he begins recharging the chair battery

This, of course, affects the battery life, so you should not rush and charge the battery without need

We advise and emphasize that you must wait until we see the red light, which indicates that the battery needs to be charged, and it must be charged until it is fully charged.

– You should also pay attention that any wheelchair battery comes in a metal box in order to protect it from any damage, such as banging, falling, or getting wet from water or any liquids.

Second: Ways to maintain the electric chair control unit

Be careful not to get the control unit wet with water or any other liquids.

Some people ask about the need to clean the control unit. Of course it is possible, but not by pouring water or any detergent, but with a slightly damp cloth after we squeeze it to get the water out of it, then we wipe and clean the control unit.

Also, you must not leave the electric wheelchair, especially the control unit, in the hands of children so that they do not damage it

It is worth advising here to keep the battery and electric wheelchair controller due to their high price.
