How often should i charge my wheelchair battery?

The frequency of charging your wheelchair battery can depend on several factors, including the type of battery, how often you use the wheelchair, and the terrain you navigate. Here are some general guidelines:

1. **Lead-Acid Batteries**: Typically, these should be charged after each use or at least every few days. They tend to have a shorter lifespan if they're regularly discharged below 50%.

2. **LiFePO4 Batteries**: These can usually be charged less frequently, depending on usage. It's a good idea to charge them when they drop to about 20-30% capacity. They generally have a longer lifespan and can handle deeper discharges better than lead-acid batteries.

3. **General Usage**: If you use your wheelchair daily, charging it overnight is often sufficient. If you use it less frequently, aim to charge it at least once a week to keep the battery in good condition.

Regular charging helps maintain battery health and ensures you have enough power when you need it.
