Batteries for electric wheelchairs
A folding electric wheelchair
A folding electric wheelchair gives you powered support in a chair you can still take with you. A failing battery should not decide how far you get. Whether you need a new battery or want to have your existing one re-celled, you can come to KWS Seuren for both.
What is the range of an electric wheelchair?
The range of your electric wheelchair depends heavily on the quality and the condition of the battery. At KWS Seuren we can inspect your battery and then re-cell or replace it, so that you get the most out of your electric wheelchair.
Indoors or outdoors, the battery is what keeps your electric wheelchair moving. We supply batteries that perform reliably, whatever the terrain.
Range table for an electric wheelchair
The table below shows what the range would be at a given speed, current draw and battery capacity. It makes clear that the battery is not the only thing with a large effect on the final performance. The current draw counts too.
| km/h | Battery | Current draw | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 km/h | 10Ah | 4A | 10Ah / 4A = 2.5 hours | 2.5 x 4km/h = 10 km |
| 4 km/h | 20Ah | 4A | 20Ah / 4A = 5 hours | 5 x 4km/h = 20 km |
| 4 km/h | 10Ah | 10A | 10Ah / 10A = 1 hour | 1 x 4km/h = 4 km |
| 4 km/h | 20Ah | 10A | 20Ah / 10A = 2 hours | 2 x 4km/h = 8 km |
| 4 km/h | 10Ah | 20A | 10Ah / 20A = 0.5 hours | 0.5 x 4km/h = 2 km |
| 4 km/h | 20Ah | 20A | 20Ah / 20A = 1 hour | 1 x 4km/h = 4 km |
This table shows how sharply the range and the hours of driving fall as the current draw rises, even though the speed stays the same.

The flexibility of a removable battery for your electric wheelchair
A removable battery makes an electric wheelchair easier to live with. You can charge it even in places the wheelchair itself cannot easily reach: take the battery out and charge it somewhere more accessible. That is especially useful in buildings or homes with limited access.
With an extra removable battery you increase your range considerably. While one battery charges you use the other, which in effect doubles the time you can spend out of the house. That is a big advantage if you value your independence and want to get through the day without interruptions.
Removable batteries are also easier to maintain. You can inspect and clean them, or replace them if necessary, without the wheelchair having to go to a service centre. A battery that is easy to maintain also tends to last longer, provided it is looked after properly.
A reliable, good-quality removable battery lets you get the most out of your electric wheelchair. It also makes sense to choose a supplier or service provider that re-cells and replaces batteries for electric wheelchairs, such as KWS Seuren, so that your mobility aid is ready whenever you need it.
E-bike for a wheelchair: the electric handbike
An electric handbike gives you your freedom back. You can cover longer distances and climb steep hills, and even join friends or family on a bike ride. KWS Seuren has been repairing and re-celling batteries for e-bikes, scooters and handbikes since 2017. If the battery of your electric handbike is faulty, we can repair or re-cell it for you. In a cell replacement we fit new cells in your own casing, and we are ISO 9001:2015 certified.
