Answer by GrayPict
You practice a lot and try not to move so fast. Electrical wheelchairs move pretty fast and if you are not careful you bump into every and run over people as well. IT is somewhat like a car, you are responsible for its movement and should be watching for others as well as displays.

How can i test and charge a 12 volt battery?

Question by Showtime: How can i test and charge a 12 volt battery?
Hello i recently received 2 12volt 34amp CSB battery (sealed lead battery) from a man who was getting rid of his Electric wheelchair thingy because the plastic was all broken and worn out but i took just the battery's...MY Question is: how can i test them to find out if they can be charged and if they will hold the charge.next how do i charge them
Well i sorta know that it would be easy to charge them with the provided power charger...i dont have it hence the reason i ask this question


Best answer:

Answer by Numbat
Er, like charge it? You should have got the charger for the system, there would have been one.

To test (after charging) needs a load test. A load could consist of several 12v light bulbs. You also need a meter of some sort. There are some very cheap digital multimeters available. Note digital, analog meters do not have sufficient scale accuracy. When discharging, do not allow the voltage across the battery to drop below 10v.

Capacity of the battery is calculated as discharge current vs time. I assume your batteries are 34 A/hr. I doubt you will get anywhere near that amount from yours.

Best answer:

Answer by Tall Willow
Because as a species, we're wary of anyone "different." I'm not saying that it's justified, just that it is.

That being said, I try to make sure I talk to people who use wheelchairs the same way I talk to anyone else. If we're having a substantial conversation, and there's somewhere for me to sit, I try to do so. That way I'll be a the same approximate level.

OTOH, it's more likely a passing conversation and/or somewhere there's no seat for me, so I have to look downwards at them. Not that I don't have the same need with a lot of people; I'm tall for a woman, and at or above the average height for a man, so I'm taller than about 3/4's of the population.

Best answer:

Answer by JMITW
contact vocational rehab...they used to pay for mobility equipment needed for work

if your hmo would not pay for a power chair-it is doubtful medicare or medicaid would pay either...too get one you have to be unable to walk around the house without assistance...so if you have a studio apartment and can manage walking around in that where there is something to hold onto within reach at least every few feet...they don't think you need a power chair to walk around a store or a work place which is much larger..

funny thing is--for some people, they will pay a lot more for a custom manual chair than for an off the shelf power chair...

for example--1 person got a $ 4000 manual wheelchair.....but purchased a power chair on his own worth about $ 2000..the insurance would not pay for the powerchair instead of the manual chair..

medicare does pay for wheelchairs if you meet the requirements
