Your Pride Go Chair MED is the insurance coded version of the chair that made travel power chairs practical. Feather touch disassembly breaks it into pieces with a heaviest section of just 36 pounds, so it loads into a trunk without a lift. A 25.5 inch turning radius keeps it usable in hallways, hotel rooms, and restaurant aisles, and the two motor rear wheel drive with a 40 amp PG GC3 controller handles daily indoor and outdoor use. Two 12 volt batteries in a removable box power all of it as a 24 volt pair.
Pride specifies two 18 amp hour, 12 volt deep cycle batteries weighing about 14 pounds each for this chair, and we fit it with one battery that meets that specification: the MK Powered M17-12 SLD M. MK has supplied the leading wheelchair manufacturers for decades, and rather than stocking three tiers of quality and letting you guess which is good enough, we stock the one we would put in our own chair.
MK’s sealed AGM construction means the batteries are completely maintenance free and spillproof, safe in any orientation, and approved by the FAA, IATA, and UPS for travel. That matters on a chair built to come apart and travel with you, though airlines and cruise lines each set their own policies, so confirm with your carrier before a trip and we are glad to help you sort out what they need.
Your batteries ship partially charged, which is standard for safe transport, so give them a full overnight charge before your first outing. The Go Chair MED uses a 2 amp off-board charger, which is gentler and slower than the chargers on larger chairs, so allow plenty of time for that first full charge.
