Can you use a car battery in a 12volt power wheelchair ?

The batteries in the chair are dead and my wife comes home from hospital tom'w. No time to get ones made for power wheelchairs.


A car battery will work for a while but a marine deep cycle battery would last longer.

Electric Wheelchair and Power wheelchair Batteries


Frequently asked questions with your power wheelchair and electric scooter battery.

Is there anyone who knows how to make modifications(fit in an engine to replace battery) to a power-wheelchair

I'm a disabled guy & plan to make some modifications to my power-wheelchair. Is there anyone who knows how to fit in a motorcycle engine or any kind of suitable engines into a power-wheelchair? I need to replace my battery as it keeps giving me problems which is quite unconvenient especially when I'm on the road.. & it's really really slow(slower than an average human walking speed).
Anyone with informations regarding the modifications will be a great help to me.
Thx in advance. =)


They generally make motorized wheelchairs fairly weak on power so that you don't accidentally flip them over or run people down with them.

Plus you won't be able to use it indoors if you put a gasoline motor on it.

If you are just going to use it outside - your best bet would be to get the motor (and possibly some other drive train components) from a ride-on lawnmower (or just buy a ride-on lawnmower, and take the blades, etc. off of it).

Rigging it up is either a skill you have, or don't have - I can make just about anything work - but I would have to actually see the chair you have in order to point you in the right direction.

Does anyone know where to hire a powered wheelchair in Lourdes?

This, almost certainly, will have to be the type that is steered by a helper at the back but is battery powered - the wheelchair user has impaired vision and the helper is not fit enough to push it up the hills in Lourdes unaided. Any ideas, especially websites or email addresses for anyone hiring such wheelchairs would be greatly appreciated.


Best is to contact the Lourdes site itself. They have a whole system to greet and help pilgrims, I'm sure you're not the first one to ask that question. Click on contact, you have telephone and email. I heard you could also have helpers to push the wheelchairs for you.

  • Power Wheelchair Batteries: How Does the Battery Work?

    Power wheelchair batteries are typically “deep cycle” lead-acid batteries, meaning that each discharge cycle is meant to use most of the available capacity of the battery. Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries have 3 main characteristics: capacity, current rating, and cell type.

    Capacity is expressed in ampere-hours (Ah) and determines how long a battery can function. The capacity of a typical deep-cycle lead-acid battery ranges from 30 to 90 ampere-hours corresponding to 3 to 9 hours of continuous use of an electric wheelchair that runs on 10 amperes. Few people use their wheelchair continuously.

    The current of the battery is expressed in amperes (A), and indicated the rate of electron flow. The larger the current rating, the more the power wheelchair will be able to easily travel over obstacles and rough terrain.
