This question falls into two parts: How long does an electric wheelchair/scooter battery last before it needs to be replaced? How long does an electric wheelchair/scooter battery last on a single charge? We’ll cover both in this article. How long does an electric wheelchair/scooter battery last before it needs to…
I’m guessing your battery sits idle throughout the colder months without any use. Batteries will only reach their designed life span if they are active. Most snow mobiles use sealed lead acid batteries which means they should last 2 -3 years if properly maintained. If the battery is routinely operating…
ATVs normally use Sealed Lead Acid batteries so consider a multi-function charger such as the Power Sonic Battery Sitter or a smart charger such as NOCO Genius, which can charge, maintain, test and desulfate batteries. Choose a charger designed with the correct voltage, chemistry and amperage specifications to compliment your…
Unlike other battery chemistries, Sealed Lead Acid batteries aren’t meant to be charged super-fast. A majority of manufacturers state they should not be charged in less than 5 hours, or at a charging current level of higher than 32.72 degrees Fahrenheit (cell temperature). There are a few SLAs that are…
If your battery is fully charged, but you have no power, first check the connection to the battery. Is the wiring to the battery tightly fastened and in contact with the battery terminals? Does the battery have a build-up, rust, dirt or corrosion on the battery terminals where the wiring…
Yes, we recommend it. However, the environment the vehicle is stored in should be at room temperature. In a consistently high temperature environment (above 86°F / 30°C) all batteries can either be left permanently connected to the Battery Sitter, or connected and recharged on a weekly basis. If the Battery…
If the battery is deeply discharged, the battery must be removed from the vehicle, or, be disconnected from the vehicle circuitry. The Battery Sitter’s high voltage desulfation mode can only engage if no vehicle circuitry or connected devices are detected by the Battery Sitter’s circuit. Purchase your Battery Sitter Battery…
A battery is deeply discharged and I tried to recharge it with the Battery Sitter, but only the green POWER LED remains on, no other LEDs light up. The Battery Sitter assesses recoverability of the battery by measuring the initial battery voltage. If it is not at 2V or above,…
The Battery Sitter is one charger that can handle a wide range of batteries. Too good to be true? Find out more as we Myth Bust! Myth #1:The Battery Sitter’s high voltage desulfation mode can damage vehicle electronics if connected to an installed battery. Fact #1: The Battery Sitter’s high…
The Battery Sitter is the most advanced fully automatic diagnostic battery optimizer and maintainer for all 12V lead acid batteries. This includes sealed and conventional batteries for motorcycle and similar vehicles (scooters, Jet Skis, Snowmobiles, ATVs, UVs, etc), including dry-charged (MF) and sealed (WET) maintenance free types, and sealed (Deep-Cycle)…
