Mobility scooter batteries
Gel batteries last longer but are more expensive! AGM mobility scooter battery and sealed lead acid mobility scooter batteries are cheaper but are catching Gel mobility scooter battery types up
We sell a wide range of mobility scooter batteries. Our range of batteries include Gel and SLA (Sealed lead acid batteries).Or AGM batteries.
Mobility scooter Battery care and maintenance are
important to prolong the working life of your mobility scooter battery . It
is recommended that you should charge your mobility scooter battery for at
least 8 hours after every days outing.
If you don’t use the scooter very often you should at least
charge the mobility scooter batteries overnight once a week. If for any reason you do not use your mobility scooter for a long time. Then you must at least charge your batteries once a month.
Failing to follow these instructions
will inevitably lead to failing mobility scooter battery cells. It is now policy from all manufacturers of
scooter batteries that before a warranty claim can be processed 3 computerised tests must be
done on each battery. These tests produce graphs that are studied very closely before
any warranty claim is accepted and if a battery has not been looked after properly it will
almost certainly be detected.
Both battery manufacturing technologies have been around for more than 20 years.
Both are acceptable for unrestricted travel and meet U.K. Europe and U.S. non spillable
restrictions. For many years, the Gel battery was only used in the deep-cycle
market and the AGM battery was used for an immediate high-output-current
requirement only. The AGM was considered a good starting type battery but
suffered from lack of sufficient deep cycles.
However, AGM technology has
dramatically improved in the last few years, particularly the increase of the
deep cycles that can be produced. In fact, some DCS (Deep Cycle Series) AGM batteries
now nearly double the cycle life of Gel batteries. And the Gel battery normally
takes 10-20 cycles of use before it starts to perform to its rated capacity
whereas the AGM reaches 95-100% capacity from the start. Gel battery
A gel battery (also known as a "gel cell") is a VRLA battery with a gelified electrolyte;
the sulfuric acid is mixed with a silica fume, which makes the
resulting mass gel-like and immobile. Unlike a traditional wet-cell
lead-acid battery, these batteries do not need to be kept upright
(though they cannot be charged inverted). Sealed Lead acid mobility scooter batteries or AGM Batteries
A battery is a collection of several galvanic cells connected in series to produce a greater voltage than a single cell could. Mobility scooter batteries are wet cells. A standard 12-V mobility scooter battery consists of 6 lead acid cells that each produce 2 volts. In a Mobility scooter battery, the cell is recharged by
the mains charger plug.The AGM, as its name indicates, is a product that uses a process where the lead
plates have a separator made from a highly absorbent material, permitting
virtually 100% of the electrolyte to be captivated and soaked into this
separator material and allowing the recombination chemical process to occur during discharge and recharge. Today's
AGM technology has a dramatically improved cycle life and often offers a lower cost per cycle for the customer.
