How long does it take to recharge a power wheelchair?
It varies toward how long it takes a particular power wheelchair to recharge, based on the size of the charger, the size of the batteries, and the batteries’ level of discharge. However, most power wheelchair manufacturers match the charger size to the battery size, so that an 80% discharge takes approximately 8 hours to recharge. Nevertheless, again, there are variables where an individual power wheelchair may take 10 or 12 hours to charge accordingly. Also, it’s important to recognize that older batteries take longer to recharge than newer batteries, so recharging time varies over the lifespan of the batteries.
