5. ve included a small feature David Grant MD wrote for Disability Product News magazine below David says Looking after your battery is a critical yet simple task for every mobility user but unfortunately there are three common mistakes that many fall foul of Firstly the most obvious mistake is for the user not to put the battery back on charge immediately after returning from their journey After each and every use no matter how short the journey the battery must be recharged As well as running the risk of a break down not recharging the battery after each use can quickly damage the battery plates and shorten the battery life The next mistake made is failing to leave the battery on charge long enough for it to be fully replenished There is this myth that lead acid batteries should not be left permanently on charge These batteries are designed to be left on charge continuously when not in use as they will only draw sufficient current to maintain all capacity and prevent self discharge The ideal solution is to leave the battery on charge until it is next needed Finally the user must avoid m leaving the battery for 4 long periods of time ina discharged state This can cause sulphation a process in which sulphate crystals form on the battery plates This contaminates the plates reducing their surface area that can accept a charge The end result is having a battery that will charge by a smaller
