Power Wheelchairs:
5 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING
What is the Primary use of the Power Wheelchair? Will it be used only at home or to go out and about?
Battery size. Larger batteries means more capacity. If going on an airline, it must be appropriately sized and FCC Compliant
Battery Type. Conventional Agm batteries are heavier and have a shorter life span. Lithium last longer and are lighter
Transportability. If being used out and about, how heavy is it? How easy is it to get into your vehicle?
Warranty/ Parts availability. Choose a scooter from a well known brand. Inexpensive scooters seem like a good idea until parts and service is necessary. Most times, the parts for inexpensive scooters are hard to find if at all
