Wet and Gel Wheel Chair Batteries
Is a gel or wet electric wheel chair battery better? As Deion Sanders says, "Both." Unless you happen to be traveling on an airplane. Even with football star perks, Mr. Sanders would have to remove wet wheelchair batteries from his wheelchair when flying.
But Mr. Sanders would have to recharge his gel wheelchair batteries, since they have 10-20 percent less capacity than a wet wheel chair battery. For a jet-setting football player, that might pose a problem. He could carry wheelchair battery chargers...or he could just opt for a wet wheel chair battery.
Sanders would, however, have to make sure that the team doesn't pour all the water on him during the victory dance (every two months a wet electric wheel chair battery needs the water changed). Still, football players with bulked-up muscles are equal to the task of reaching and lifting the batteries. Just watch the guys¡ªsomeone might pour Gatorade in as a joke.
You might not be a pro football player, but armed with information about wet versus gel, you can make a good call when selecting wheel chair batteries.
Wheelchair Battery Charger Models
You're running to that doctor's appointment and, wonder of wonders, the doc's always on time.
When you're recharging your Invacare or Levo electric wheel chair battery, you don't want to find out that you packed the wrong model of wheelchair battery charges. Your chair takes wet batteries, but the charger will only handle gel wheelchair batteries. Or you have an old 12-volt wheelchair and your modern wet/gel electric wheel chair battery charger makes the batteries go kaput. The doctor's meter is running while yours is stalled.
Thankfully, the Lester 12 Volt. 6 Amp Battery Charger handles the old 12-volt models. For newer model chairs that need wet or gel wheelchair batteries charged, most wheelchair battery chargers will charge both wet and gel wheelchair batteries.
Another surprise: When you get to the doctor's office after speeding up the wheelchair ramp, your doctor is late. Relax, cool your wheels, and read the two-month-old magazines in the office.
Longer Lasting Electric Wheelchair Batteries
Wheelchair stalling or lagging behind the crowd? Your electric wheel chair battery probably needs replacing. You can put more juice in your battery every day with our wheel chair battery tips.
? Charge the wheelchair batteries every night to keep the chair fully revved in the morning, especially if you ride outdoors most of the day and night.
? If you use your chair mainly indoors, keep it turned off when sitting at the table or doing stationary tasks. Tip: The same battery can last for two years if your chair is an indoor animal.
? If you use "wet" batteries, keep a water jug handy every two months, which is when you'll need to refill the water. Have a friend or family member help.
? Don't leave your wheelchair running when you're not in it.
? Have backup batteries on hand. Most wheelchair sellers will include wheelchair batteries. Order extra.
After all, your batteries don't need recharging as you rush through your routine and emerge ahead of the pack. Make sure your wheel chair battery can keep up with you.
Kid-ding Around with Wheel Chair Batteries
You're a kid and despite the chair, with its awesome racer-like style, you feel you can do anything. You even learned how to charge the batteries...you read the manual while your parents are struggling with programming the VCR/DVD combo. You know about the plugs wheelchair battery chargers need. See, you're a responsible kid with an aptitude for all things mechanical. How come your dad gets upset when he sees you trying to move your wet wheel chair battery?
Relax¡ªhe's not dissing your initiative. He's probably proud (parents have to tell you how to do things, share their wisdom and all that). Then your grandma jumps in with tips she learned. Turns out she can charge an electric wheel chair battery better than you can. And, she reminds you, you forgot the water for your wet wheel chair battery.
To be honest, you could use your dad's help lifting those wet wheelchair batteries...they're heavy, even though you're the strongest girl on your wheel chair basketball team.
So yes, kids can do anything, and you can charge and change those batteries...but be smart about it. Talk to your grandma, read the manuals, talk to the people who sold you the wheelchair (ask about selecting wheel chair batteries). Watch how to install a wet or gel electric wheel chair battery.
People say kids today are lazy. But nothing slows you down (including explaining to your mom one more time how to surf the Web).
AGM Electric Wheel Chair Battery
You keep hearing about AGM. AGM is better. AGM is powerful. It sounds like a stock. And, if AGM were a stock, it would be the best of breed. AGM, short for Absorbed Glass Mat, is an electric wheel chair battery similar to a gel cell wheel chair battery. Both batteries are leak-free when it comes to acid (no acid rains or acid trips). AGM is the newest design, built to last...remember that when you are selecting wheelchair batteries.
You're probably thinking, "That's what my broker said about the last stock she recommended." Unlike stocks, which are speculative, batteries can ride out trouble no matter how many ups and downs your wheelchair goes through. It recombines oxygen and hydrogen more efficiently than companies meet their projected earnings estimate, with 99 percent efficiency. Wall Street blue chips would kill for those ratings!
Best of all, AGM wheelchair batteries can sit in storage for long periods without starting to decay or needing to charge. This is great if you're a day trader who mainly stays indoors. Remember, that can extend electric wheel chair battery life to two years before you have to replace the wheel chair battery.
