Considering the characteristics of lithium batteries and practical usage needs, the most reasonable charging range for most electric wheelchair users is usually:
80%–90%
Yes. You can bring a lightweight electric wheelchair on a plane, but you must check the airline's specific regulations in advance and follow the rules regarding lithium batteries, security procedures, check-in procedures, and cargo hold storage.
Electric wheelchairs are important devices for improving freedom of movement, but they do have some issues that cannot be ignored, including:
• Reduced battery life leading to shorter range
• Heavy weight making them difficult to move
• Insufficient adaptability to complex terrain
• High maintenance costs etc.
Electric wheelchairs should not be kept plugged in all the time.
Overcharging is not only unhelpful but can also shorten battery life.
• The charger should be unplugged when the battery is charged to approximately 90%.
• The electric wheelchair battery should not be continuously charged for more than 14 hours.
Actual range of a 24V 15.6AH battery electric wheelchair: approximately 15–20 kilometers
This is the standard battery capacity for many folding and portable electric wheelchairs. For daily use, including in hospitals, communities, residential areas, and parks, this range is sufficient for most users.
Electric wheelchairs on the market are mainly divided into three categories:
• Lightweight electric wheelchairs
• Standard electric wheelchairs
• Heavy-duty electric wheelchairs
