Batteries 12v 55ah mobility scooters and power chairs

One of the most important components of a scooter is the battery. Sealed lead-acid or gel batteries may require a charge after one use if we are not using our power chair or scooter for a long time.

When choosing AGM, Gel and Pure Gel batteries for your mobility scooter or wheelchair, it's crucial to understand the differences and advantages of these advanced technologies. Both AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) and gel batteries, including the pure gel variety, are subtypes of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, designed to offer superior performance and durability in mobility applications.

At Accessible, we have been pioneers in offering gel and AGM battery solutions for years, and now, we are thrilled to expand our range with the exclusive Pure Gel batteries from the renowned brand First Power for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Available in capacities ranging from 36 to 75 amperes, these batteries are synonymous with innovation and reliability.

Key Features of Gel and Pure Gel Batteries

Gel and Pure Gel batteries for your mobility scooter or wheelchair differ in several fundamental aspects:

- Separator: AGM and Gel batteries use a common separator in AGM, while Pure Gel batteries use a PVC separator, optimized to enhance stability and lifespan.

- Electrolyte: The electrolyte mixtures vary, with Pure Gel batteries containing 9% silicone, providing better chemical stability and cyclic performance.

- Service Life and Cycling: Pure Gel batteries excel with a floating life of up to 15 years and 700 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, ideal for frequent and prolonged use.

AGM Batteries: Efficiency for Instant Demand

For those looking for efficiency and rapid response in their Gel and Pure Gel batteries for your mobility scooter or wheelchair, AGM batteries are an excellent choice. Their ability to withstand rapid discharges and their resistance to impacts make them an ideal solution for mobility scooters that require quick starts and operation in various weather conditions.

Gel Batteries: Durability in Deep Cycles

If priority is durability and consistent performance, gel batteries are the choice for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Their design with gelatinous electrolyte allows for slower, deeper discharges, ideal for extended daily use and applications that demand long-term reliability.

Pure Gel: The Premium Option for Maximum Reliability

For those who settle for nothing less, **Pure Gel batteries** offer the best VRLA technology available for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Although their price may be higher, their exceptional cyclic life and ability to handle deep discharges without compromising battery integrity justify the investment.

Criteria for Choosing the Best Battery for Your Scooter or Wheelchair

When selecting Gel and Pure Gel batteries for your mobility scooter or wheelchair, consider:

1. Specific application: Do you need high performance or long-term durability?

2. Maintenance: Both options offer low maintenance, but pure gel batteries are particularly resistant to sulfation.

3. Cost: Evaluate the return on investment based on durability and performance.

4. Durability and lifespan: Opt for batteries that offer the best lifespan and least degradation under frequent use.

Conclusion

Choosing Gel and Pure Gel batteries for your mobility scooter or wheelchair is a decision that directly influences efficiency and independence in personal mobility. With AGM, gel, and pure gel options, Accessible is proud to offer products that not only meet our customers' expectations but exceed them, ensuring a more accessible and mobile future for everyone.

If you want more information about Gel or AGM batteries, here is an article from our blog in which we talked about batteries for scooters and the differences between Gel and AGM.

All mobility scooters come with a guide to know more about the battery life, but this will only apply if they are mantained properly charged. In order to get the most out of your battery, Accessible Madrid recommends charging the batteries for at least 12 hours the first time and keep them fully charged at all times in order to prolong their life. Needless to mention, that they will lose capacity eventually lose. In this sense Accessible Madrid recommends that once a year, take the scooter for service to ensure that the batteries are charging correctly. Accessible Madrid offers a service of maintenance and repair for your scooter.

You should keep lubricated battery terminals and battery clean. To clean the coil you can use a damp cloth and avoid wet conditions when using the scooter. If the batteries are wet, wipe and let it dry completely before using the scooter again.

Over time you will notice as the ability of the battery to hold a charge will decrease, which will result in need to charge your scooter more often. It is important to check the charge on your scooter indicator to ensure that you will be able to complete your journey without problems. Well mantained batteries will ensure not only travel range, but that one has enough power to turn on exterior lights if you you are traveling in the dark or in poor visibility conditions.

Depending on the type of scooter you are using, you may need to charge the batteries after each trip or just when the charge indicator on your scooter indicates that the battery charge is low. The batteries on your scooter should last quite a while, usually about two years or more.

Batteries must be charged regularly to keep them running efficiently. Always read the manufacturer"s directions on the battery; Usually they recommend a load for a period of between 8 and 10 hours.

During the winter and when the mobility scooter is longer standing, batteries gradually lose their charge and could deteriorate if left in a discharged state.
