Notes on charging electric wheelchairs

2022-09-22

When the electric wheelchair is running, the battery itself will heat up: in addition, the weather is hot, and the battery temperature may even reach 70°C. When the battery has not cooled down to the ambient temperature, the electric wheelchair needs to be charged as soon as it stops, which will aggravate the lack of liquid and water in the battery, shorten the service life of the battery, and increase the risk of battery charging. Recharge. If the battery and motor are abnormally hot during the driving of the electric wheelchair, please go to the professional electric wheelchair maintenance department for inspection and maintenance in time.

Never charge an electric wheelchair in the sun: the battery also heats up during charging. If it is charged in direct sunlight, it will also cause the battery to lose water and cause the battery to bulge; try to charge the battery in a cool place or choose to charge the electric wheelchair at night;

Never use the charger to charge the electric wheelchair: using an inappropriate charger to charge the electric wheelchair may result in damage to the charger or damage to the battery. For example, using a charger with a large output current to charge a small battery can easily cause the battery to overcharge. It is recommended to go to a professional electric wheelchair after-sales repair shop to replace the matching high-quality brand charger to ensure the charging quality and prolong the battery life.

It is strictly forbidden to charge for a long time or even all night: many electric wheelchair users often charge all night for convenience, and the charging time often exceeds 12 hours, and sometimes even forget to cut off the power supply for more than 20 hours, which will inevitably cause great damage to the battery. Charging for a long time for many times can easily lead to the battery being charged due to overcharging. Generally, the electric wheelchair can be charged for about 8 hours with a matching charger.

Do not frequently use the fast charging station to charge the battery of the electric wheelchair: try to keep the battery of the electric wheelchair in a fully charged state before traveling, and according to the actual cruising range of the electric wheelchair, you can choose to take public transportation for long-distance travel. Many cities have fast charging stations. Using a fast charging station to charge with high current can easily lead to battery loss of water and bulge, thus affecting battery life. Minimize the number of times you use a fast charging station to charge.
