Index Number: 6032 I've been having problems with the batteries for my E&J electric wheelchair not quite lasting to the end of the day. Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand they like? Thanks very much, Scott (415) 548-2520 Scott Luebking {mtxinu,sun,pyramid,pacbell}!sybase!scottl

Index Number: 6171 Scott- What type batteries do you use? How old are they? How do you service them? How about service on your wheelchair? What I'm getting at is that many things will affect your chair's performance. If you've looked at all potential problems, I apologize for a sermon. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!114!19!Paul.Hamlet Internet: Paul.Hamlet@f19.n114.z1.fidonet.org

With normal use I only get them to last 9-12 months. I buy deep cycle closed system marine batteries from a regular battery dealer. On the average I pay about 100-125 for a pair. I also resell my old ones to boaters by placing an ad in a local free swapper type newspaper. I get about 25 each on the resale and that cuts donw my overall cost. -=joe=- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!302!Joe.Chamberlain Internet: Joe.Chamberlain@f302.n141.z1.fidonet.org
