❄️🔋 **WINTER BATTERY CARE – KEEP YOUR MOBILITY SCOOTER OR POWERCHAIR RUNNING SMOOTHLY!** 🔋❄️
As the temperatures drop, it's important to give your mobility scooter or powerchair batteries a little extra TLC! 🛵
Cold weather can reduce battery performance and range, but a few simple steps can help keep you moving throughout the winter months.
✅ **Charge regularly** – Keep your batteries topped up, even if you're not using your scooter or powerchair every day.
✅ **Avoid the cold** – Wherever possible, store your scooter or powerchair somewhere dry and protected from freezing temperatures.
✅ **Don't let batteries run flat** – Deep discharging can shorten battery life, particularly during colder weather.
✅ **Use the correct charger** – Always use a charger suitable for your batteries and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
✅ **Plan your journeys** – Batteries may not last as long in cold weather, so allow for a reduced travelling range.
