Mobility Scooter Batteries

Electric scooters run on rechargeable batteries. After a few hours of use the battery needs to be charged again before a second run. Larger vehicles are usually able to support larger batteries which can go for extended periods of time. Portable scooters use smaller batteries to keep their weight low, so these may need to be charged more often. Most mobility scooters run on two 12 volt batteries. These batteries are often sold in packages for convenience. You can find batteries at stores which sell motor scooters. There are many online dealers for these. As for chargers, there are several different types depending on the type of scooter you own. Check with the manufacturer to make sure you get the right one if you are looking to purchase a replacement.

When purchasing a battery for a scooter, be sure to inquire with the company that made the scooter you have or the store where you are purchasing the battery to make sure you have the right one. You may also find information on the battery type on your current battery. If you have a manual for your scooter you will likely find information on battery type there as well. For those who spend a great deal of time away from a charging station, or those who do not have the time to wait for a scooter to charge, one solution would be to purchase a spare battery and always have one fully charged and ready to go. This will allow users with limited mobility to always be on the go and to enjoy more of the freedom that these vehicles provide.
