Battery Size
Batteries function as a power wheelchair’s fuel •
tank. The larger the group size, the farther the
wheelchair will go.
Use the size specifi ed by the wheelchair •
manufacturer. Never use undersized batteries.

Batteries Used On both Groove and Rhythm
Deep-cycle batteries are designed to be •
discharged and recharged on a regular basis.
Starting or automotive type batteries use a rapid •
burst of power to start an engine and are quickly
recharged by an alternator or generator. They
are rated by cold cranking amps, a measure that
has no relevance to wheelchair application.
Marine and RV batteries frequently are not •
deep-cycle as they are often used for starting
engines.
Only use Deep-Cycle sealed type batteries •
in a wheelchair.
