Deep-cycle batteries are designed to •
be discharged and recharged on a
regular basis.
Starting or automotive type batteries •
use a rapid burst of power to start an
engine and are quickly recharged by an
alternator or generator. They are rated
by cold cranking amps, a measure
that has no relevance to wheelchair

Marine and RV batteries frequently are •
not deep-cycle as they are often used
for starting engines.
Only use Deep-Cycle sealed type •
batteries in a wheelchair.
