Is periodically recharging for a short time during the day as a boost helpful or harmful?
Boost charging ultimately harms deep-cycle batteries. Most power wheelchair battery chargers function in three charging stages to optimize the capacity and maintain the batteries. Regularly plugging in the charger for short bursts throughout the day does not allow the charger or batteries to go through the proper charging stages and durations, ultimately destroying the batteries. It’s important to only fully recharge your chair after each day’s use, avoiding boost charging in-between full charges.
