Wheelchair Scooter Battery

I am trying to build a segway, and i have a motor and motor driver from an old wheelchair. i am looking for some batteries for this

The first thing you need to figure out is all of your design issues first, what types of batteries were you looking at? The old standard for making these little vehicles was lead acid but lead acid cells suck, there are now Ni-Mh batteries that can perform the same job. Your next big hump is designing a charger and tha actual gearing system. Best of luck, I am currently working on a similar project.

Changing the battery on the Rover mobility scooter.

I have a solar panel with the following specs:

Material: Monocrystalline

PM: 2w

Voc: 22.28 V

Isc: 0.15 A

Vmp: 18V

Imp: 0.14 A

Size: 14.9cm x 15.5cm

Gross weight: 0.3 kgs

Max system Voltage: 1000v

and I want to know if I can use that solar panel to charge a 7 amp, 12 volt electric wheelchir battery or if I have to buy another kind. It is for use on a blackout to charge my laptop, and stuff. I have a dc meter and input, but do I need an inverter? Thanks. I would appreciate it if anyone could answer any part of this question.

I'm not positive, but I think the other answerer might be a little off. You really should check either the manual if you have it (for your panel) or research it on the net and try to find it. It should say what to use it on, and what not to use it on. I can't answer your question either way just from my head knowledge, but i do know that voltage means little compared to amps. Amps is what will charge or overcharge a battery to a dangerous level. If I were you I would ask a reputable source and not an anybody's-guess website like this. You dont want to get hurt, that's for sure. Good luck.

I am a b/k left leg amputee and am currently recovering from a broken left hip - i need a three wheel battery operated scooter to get around outside- my insurance does not cover and i can't afford much but need something i can depend upon - i do my own errands and all and i can't operate a manual wheelchair outside as it is beyond my physical strength due to other medical problems can anyone help/

Check with local church groups or rest homes. Families of deceased folks would have no more use for the chair and might be willing to donate it to you. You could also contact veteran's groups. Even if you're not a veteran, they may be able to point you in the right direction.
