Common Power Wheelchair Battery Models and Their Features
Power wheelchair batteries come in different types and capacities, each designed for specific user needs. The most common types include AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, Gel batteries, and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Let’s dive into the characteristics of some of the popular power wheelchair battery models.
U1 Series Battery (12V, 32Ah – 35Ah)
Suitable Models:

· Invacare Pronto Series (e.g., Pronto M51, M71)
· Golden Technologies LiteRider
The U1 series is one of the most compact and widely used batteries in power wheelchairs. With a capacity of 32Ah or 35Ah, it provides a solid performance for medium-sized or lightweight wheelchairs, offering around 4-6 hours of use depending on terrain and load. It’s ideal for indoor use, where users don’t require extended battery life.

For heavy-duty wheelchairs or those requiring longer range and higher load capacity, the Group 22NF battery is an excellent choice. With a larger capacity of 50Ah to 55Ah, it provides about 8-10 hours of use, making it perfect for users who need a longer-lasting battery for all-day or outdoor use.
Group 24 Battery (12V, 75Ah – 80Ah)
Suitable Models:

How to Choose the Right Power Wheelchair Battery?
When selecting a power wheelchair battery, it’s essential to consider not only the battery’s voltage and capacity but also your specific use case, wheelchair model, and load demands. Here are some factors to help you make the right decision:
· Voltage and Capacity: Most power wheelchairs use a 24V system, so you’ll need a 24V battery or two 12V batteries in series. The larger the battery capacity, the longer the range.
· Battery Type: AGM and Gel batteries are ideal for short- to medium-term use, while lithium-ion batteries are best for users who need fast charging, long life, and lightweight designs.
· Usage Scenario: For all-day or outdoor use, larger capacity batteries (e.g., 75Ah or 80Ah) are recommended. For lighter use, smaller batteries (e.g., 32Ah or 35Ah) are sufficient.
