Mobility Battery Fitting Service

Generally fitted within 1-3 working days. Please allow up to 1.5 hours for the service and fitting. Our authorised fitters will contact you directly once the order is placed.

No, not all batteries advertised as mobility batteries are suitable. However, most reputable scooter manufacturers come standard with gel batteries designed to handle high frequent discharging. Standard AGM deep cycle batteries vary in design and will work in light applications; however, a quality Gel battery will handle the higher discharge and significantly outperform the AGM counterparts in the larger sizes.When replacing with the Maxon QCELL batteries, you can rest assure you are getting the latest Carbon Gel technology designed as a direct replacement for the OEM battery.

Most manufacturers claim a distance using a laboratory test; however, in real-world situations, you need to consider other factors such as terrain, condition of the scooter, and the driver’s weight. In saying that, a driver weighing around 70Kg on a relatively flat surface using a medium-size scooter with 35Ah – 40Ah batteries, you would expect around 25 – 30Km.For the larger 55Ah and 80Ah, you would expect 45-55Km. When fitting new Gel batteries, they need to be cycled at least 12 times to reach their full potential.

Ensuring your batteries are fully charged is integral to getting longer life and performance out of your batteries. With all the new chargers these days, you can’t overcharge the batteries on a mobility scooter, so you can be confident to leave the charger on overnight.Most modern chargers are fitted with an automatic cut-off, so they will simply turn off when fully charged. The more advanced multi-stage chargers will go into a float or storage mode, so the batteries will remain to topped up if not used for long periods.

Yes, they are designed especially for the mobility scooter application, which requires a robust, frequent discharge in a battery.They are similar to the standard fully sealed Gel batteries. Both use a common lead positive plate; however, the Lead Carbon uses an advanced carbon composite on the negative plate. The advanced carbon composite on the negative plate has similar characteristics to a ‘supercapacitor’, which allows for faster charging and high discharge, plus helps reduce sulfation to the negative plate while in a partial state of charge.

If your model has the room to change to larger batteries. In that case, you can replace them with higher capacity (Ah) batteries, increasing your range. However, apart from costing more and being heavier to lift, you will need to check if your current charger can charge the new batteries to specifications. Not charging properly can prematurely shorten the life of the batteries, which may not give any more gain. This will also void the warranty. Best talk to an expert about your upgrade plans.
