Mobility scooters are generally incredibly eco-friendly, as they run on electricity and don’t generate any harmful emissions. They are different to power chairs or electric wheelchairs.
All mobility scooter batteries are 12 volts. You would normally fit two batteries which means that you have 24 volts in total.
Mobility batteries provide the power for these energy-efficient vehicles, but just like a car battery, each model has different requirements, and eventually, the battery will need to be swapped for a new model.
In general mobility scooter batteries last between eighteen months and two years with moderate use and appropriate care (see more on this below).
