Index Number: 6995 I find myself at the time of year when it's necessary to replace my chair's batteries. Before I go to a WC dealer and plunk down lord-knows- how-much for a pair "real" WC batteries I want to explore the alternatives. For the past 11 years I've always used regular ol' lead-acid deep-cycle wet batteries, they're fine except that they require semi-monthly inspection of the water levels. What about sealed "no maintenance" batteries? I've heard of people trying these, how long do they last (on a "how far can you go on a charge" and on a "months of service" basis)? What about the new gel cell batteries? Anybody using these things? What about dealers? Do people deal with a medical supply house or does anyone go directly to a battery wholesaler?
