  • How long does your wheelchair battery last?

    Please help me figure out whether I’m losing my mind or actually onto something.

    I swear my wheelchair battery has been dying more quickly these days, but then I start to second-guess myself. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been more active? Or maybe I never truly paid attention to how long it actually lasts?

    I just got a new battery put in last year, so I doubt it’s that. But it’s possible that the charger is no longer charging well. Or, I could just be losing my mind. I keep going back and forth with this and don’t know whether to contact my DME company. So, tell me:

    How long does your battery last before you have to charge it again? Should I just start charging it every night? It’s not something I typically do. For reference, I have a Permobil F3, and I don’t spend all day in my chair.
