Call 952 31 01 18 WhatsApp Batteries for electric mobility equipment in Málaga At Málaga Baterías we stock batteries for electric wheelchairs , mobility scooters (three and four wheel models), patient hoists and other assistive equipment. These are deep cycle batteries: car batteries are no good here, because the point is not to crank an engine but to deliver energy steadily for hours and withstand hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. We are at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga , no appointment needed, and we have been advising customers for over 27 years. If the wheelchair or scooter cannot be moved, there is no need to bring it in: with the battery part number or a photo of the label we will have the replacement ready for you. Which battery your equipment uses Most wheelchairs and scooters run two 12 V batteries wired in series (to give 24 V). These are the most common sizes: Equipment Usual battery Indicative range Compact / folding electric wheelchair 2 × 12 V 12-22 Ah 10-20 km Standard electric wheelchair 2 × 12 V 35-50 Ah 20-35 km Small mobility scooter (3-4 wheels) 2 × 12 V 20-35 Ah 15-25 km Large / road-going mobility scooter 2 × 12 V 50-75 Ah 30-45 km Patient hoist / adjustable bed 12 V 7-12 Ah depends on use The two figures we need are the voltage (12 V) and the capacity in Ah , plus the exact dimensions and the terminal type, because the battery compartment is usually a very tight fit. They are printed on the label of the battery you have now. AGM or gel: which one suits you - AGM: the most common choice. Sealed (no spills), maintenance free, good value for money and accepted for air and rail travel without any trouble. - Gel: copes better with very deep discharges and sustained heat, and tends to last a little longer under heavy daily use. It costs a bit more. Both are sealed and maintenance free : there is no water to top up and no risk of spillage, which matters in equipment used indoors. What you should not fit is a car starter battery: it will fail within a few months in this kind of service. Tips to make them last longer - Charge every day , even if you have not used the whole battery. These batteries suffer if they are left discharged. - Do not run them flat : regularly reaching 0 % shortens their life considerably. - If you are not going to use the equipment for several weeks, charge it fully beforehand and top it up once a month. - Always replace both batteries at the same time and with the same model: a new one paired with an old one will fail quickly. - In Málaga, avoid leaving the equipment in the sun or in a very hot storeroom : heat is what shortens battery life the most. With normal use, a set of mobility batteries usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 years . If you notice the range has halved or the gauge drops suddenly, it is time to replace them. How to order The quickest way is to send us a photo of the label of your current battery by WhatsApp (or tell us the make and model of the wheelchair or scooter).

No. A car starter battery is designed to deliver a lot of current for a few seconds, not to be deeply discharged every day. Fitted to a wheelchair or scooter it degrades within a few months. You need deep cycle batteries (AGM or gel). How long do electric wheelchair batteries last? With daily use and correct charging, between 1.5 and 3 years. Heat and leaving them discharged are the two factors that shorten their life the most. Do both batteries have to be replaced at the same time? Yes. Most equipment runs two 12 V batteries in series and they must be identical and in the same condition. Fitting a new one alongside a used one makes the new battery fail sooner. What details do you need to supply the right battery? The voltage (usually 12 V), the capacity in Ah, the dimensions and the terminal type. It is all on the label of your current battery: a photo is enough for us. If you cannot see it, tell us the make and model of the equipment. Are they safe to use indoors? Yes. … ## Buy or change this battery in Málaga Málaga Baterías — official Varta distributor. No appointment needed.
