Wheelchair Battery ChargersWheelchair battery chargers are essential equipment for the estimated 93,000 power wheelchair users in the United States. And that number goes up substantially when you consider the number of electric mobility chair users worldwide. Most chargers are too large to be attached to a wheelchair, but there are a few on the market that are portable, and allow you to remain seated while the battery is being charged. If you select an on-board charger, the RERCTT emphasizes to carefully read and follow the instructions that came with your equipment. This will ensure you take all necessary safety precautions to protect yourself from hazards such as electric shock and explosion. Another factor to remember when using battery chargers is to ensure you are using the equipment properly. Charging a battery incorrectly will reduce the life of the battery. Look for battery chargers that monitor charger output and automatically shut off when the battery is fully charged.
