Charging and caring for your Mobility Scooter or Powerchair batteries 🔋

✔️ Use the correct charger - Always use the charger supplied with your equipment or a manufacturer-approved one.
✔️ Connect it properly - Plug the charger into the scooter first, then the wall outlet.
✔️ Charge fully - Charge until the indicator light turns green (usually between 12 hours). Overnight charging works well.
✔️ Keep it topped up - It’s best to leave the charger connected between uses.
✔️ Avoid full drains - Recharge when the battery reaches around 20–30%, and if not used often, charge every 3-4 weeks.

A few good charging habits can help keep your mobility equipment running smoothly for longer.

Did you know regular servicing can add years to your mobility equipment?

Mobility scooters, powerchairs and hoists are essential for daily independence. Like any mechanical and electrical equipment, they experience wear and tear, and without regular servicing - small issues can quickly turn into costly repairs.

We recommend a full service at least once a year, with more frequent checks for high-use equipment.

Here’s what regular servicing protects:

🔋 Battery & Charging Systems

Battery voltage is checked, connections are tightened, and charging systems are tested to prevent reduced range, deep discharge damage and unexpected breakdowns.

⚙️ Motors, Gearboxes & Actuators

Motors, gearboxes, brakes, actuators and steering components are inspected, tested and adjusted. Catching early signs of wear can prevent major component failure and costly repairs.

🔌 Electrical & Safety Systems

Controllers, wiring and safety cut-offs are tested to ensure everything is functioning reliably. Early detection of electrical faults protects expensive components and improves overall safety.

🧰 Wheels, Tyres & Alignment

Tyres are checked for tread and correct inflation, castors and axles are cleaned, and we ensure the chair runs straight without veering - reducing strain on motors, improving battery efficiency and ensuring stable operation.

🪑 Frame & Seating Components

We inspect the frame for rust or damage, check armrests, leg rests, footplates, anti-tip mechanisms, seatbelts and supports to ensure everything is secure and safe.

Regular servicing helps to:

✔ Extend equipment lifespan
✔ Prevent unexpected breakdowns
✔ Reduce long-term repair costs
✔ Maintain safety and compliance
✔ Keep your equipment running smoothly and comfortably

📞 Let’s keep your equipment performing at its best. Call us on 03-366-8815 for more information or to book your service today.
