In the current society, electric wheelchairs are gradually becoming popular, but it is very embarrassing for users to drive electric wheelchairs to the point where the power is out halfway. Is the battery of an electric wheelchair durable? What should I do if the electric wheelchair runs out of power halfway? How to prevent the electric wheelchair from stopping when it runs out of power halfway?
There are three reasons why such incidents happen frequently:
First, users do not know much about their walking distance, and many elderly people are not clear about how far they are going to the destination.
Second, the user does not know the attenuation range of the battery. Electric wheelchair batteries have attenuation. For example, two batteries can last for 30 kilometers when a new car is used. Of course, after one year of use, they will not be able to run 30 kilometers.
Thirdly, they were misled by businesses when purchasing electric wheelchairs. In the era of online shopping, there are endless business routines. When consumers buy an electric wheelchair, they ask the business how many kilometers a certain electric wheelchair can run. The business will often tell you the theoretical mileage. However, in actual use, due to different road conditions, operating habits, and user weights, the battery life of the same electric wheelchair is very different even for different users.
According to big data statistics, 90% of the elderly have a daily activity range of 3-8 kilometers, so the cruising range of most electric wheelchairs is designed to be in the range of 10-20 kilometers.

Of course, in order to meet the needs of more disabled groups, some electric wheelchairs are equipped with larger capacity batteries, which have a longer cruising range, and the relative price is slightly more expensive. There are also a few electric wheelchairs designed to be optional in order to solve the cruising range problem. The function of installing a battery.
First of all, when purchasing an electric wheelchair, you must understand the detailed parameters of the electric wheelchair, and estimate the cruising range based on the battery capacity, motor power, speed, user weight, and vehicle weight of the electric wheelchair.
Second, develop a good habit of charging as you use it. In fact, most users have roughly the same range of activities every day. Then remember to replenish your car’s power after using it up every day to keep the battery fully charged at all times. When you go out, you can greatly reduce the possibility of a power outage during the trip.
Third, when you travel far away, please choose public transportation or carry a charger for your electric wheelchair. Even if there is no electricity on the way, you can find a place to charge for a few hours before leaving. It is not recommended for the majority of electric wheelchair users to drive the electric wheelchair too far, because the speed of the electric wheelchair is slow, 6-8 kilometers per hour, if you go too far, one is worried about insufficient endurance, and more importantly, the number of rides on the scooter Hours are not conducive to blood circulation, prone to fatigue driving, causing safety hazards.
