Choosing the Right MK Gel Batteries for your Scooter or Power Wheelchair
🔋 MK Gel Battery Guide – Mobility Scooters & Powerchairs
Choosing the correct MK Gel battery ensures maximum range, smooth performance, and long-term reliability for your mobility scooter or powerchair.
1. ✅ Check Your Current Battery
Start by looking at your current battery label:
- Voltage (V) – usually 12V
- Capacity (Ah) – e.g. 12Ah, 18Ah, 22Ah, 31Ah, 50Ah, 73Ah
Most mobility products use two 12V batteries. Replace both at the same time and match the same Ah rating.
2. ⚙️ Match the Battery Type
Your manual will confirm the type originally fitted.
- ✅ Gel batteries use a gelled electrolyte, ideal for deep-cycle use
- ❌ Don’t mix with AGM or Lithium batteries
MK Gel Batteries offer the longest lifespan and best performance under regular deep discharge conditions — perfect for powerchairs used daily.
