Why Batteries Plus is Your Wheelchair & Scooter Battery Destination

Power - by Joe Weber - updated on 11/10/2025

For so many of us, a wheelchair or mobility scooter isn't just a device; it's a key to independence. It's the freedom to visit the park, go grocery shopping, or simply navigate your own home with confidence. That freedom relies on one crucial component: a powerful and dependable battery. When that battery starts to fail, it can feel like your whole world is slowing down with it.

We get it. As someone who deals with a mobility disability firsthand, I understand that the last thing you need is another obstacle. That's why at Batteries Plus, we've designed our services to be as simple and accessible as possible, so you can get back to living your life without interruption.

The Right Power for the Best Brands

Your mobility device is a significant investment, and you need a battery that meets its exact specifications. At Batteries Plus, we have the expertise and the inventory to power the most trusted names in the industry. We are proud to provide high-performance battery solutions for top brands, including:

• Pride Mobility (including the popular Jazzy^® and Go-Go^® series)
• Golden Technologies
• Drive Medical
• Merits Health
• Shoprider
• And so much more.

One of our most popular and versatile batteries is the Group Size U1. This is the industry standard for a vast range of wheelchairs and scooters. For example, our part number SLADC12-35J is a Duracell Ultra 12-volt, 35 amp-hour deep-cycle AGM battery that provides the steady, long-lasting power these devices require. The Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology ensures the battery is spill-proof, vibration-resistant, and maintenance-free, giving you a safer and more reliable ride. Whether you need this specific battery or another from our extensive collection, our experts will match you with the perfect power source for your brand and model.
