Battery-powered mobility systems provide thousands of Americans with additional freedom and independence. But none of these ingeniously designed vehicles can perform to its full potential without a top-quality battery as its fuel source. In fact, choosing the right Home Medical Equipment (HME) battery can actually enhance your mobility equipment's performance and safety, simplify charging and maintenance and, in the long-run, save you time, money and peace of mind.

There's a simple reason why MK Battery is the number one brand of mobility battery among all major wheelchair manufacturers and leading rehab equipment suppliers. These industry leaders cannot afford to have their reputations riding on anything but the best power source available. That's why the MK name is your assurance of getting the best battery available for your wheelchair, scooter or other mobility device.

Gel/Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
When you think quality Deep Cycle batteries, think of MK Battery. Our premium gel sealed battery products have been the number one choice for years by the leading wheelchair manufacturers. When it comes to performance and quality, the MK Gel is the standard.

Deep Cycle - Premium sealed batteries capable of up to 500 cycles that are fully laboratory tested.
Gelled/Suspended Electrolyte - No liquid of any kind; battery is completely sealed. Safe in any position.
Maintenance Free - Water is never added; low liability.
Travel & Ship Easily - MK batteries are F.A.A, IATA, and UPS approved. Others may not be.
Safety - Sealed batteries have a special re-sealing vent system that prevents excessive internal pressure; thus they cannot explode under normal conditions.

Benefits of an Advanced "Gel/Sealed" Battery
Battery technology has changed tremendously in just the past few years. In fact, size-for-size, MK's advanced gel/sealed batteries deliver more power and more consistent performance than other types and brands of mobility batteries. Better still, and contrary to popular belief, MK's performance proven gel/sealed designs:

Last longer than comparable wet lead/acid and marine batteries.
Are approved for airline and public transportation.
Do not need to be fully discharged before recharging.
Do not develop a "memory" that limits their recharging.
Do not need to be recharged with lower amps than wet lead/acid batteries.
Will not automatically discharge if put on concrete.

While MK gel/sealed batteries aren't among the lowest priced brands, like a good set of radial tires for you car, they're designed to enhance performance and safety, last longer and, ultimately, be more cost-efficient.

You'll Cover More Ground with an MK Battery.
Although a wet/acid design is initially less expensive and can provided about 10% more running time per charge than a gel/sealed battery of equal size, a wet lead/acid battery has a much shorter service life, requires regular maintenance and poses a much higher safety risk because of potential battery acid contact and/or explosion.

An MK gel/sealed battery, instead provides an inherently safer, truly maintenance-free design. MK batteries provide a significantly longer life-averaging 1 to 2 years or longer when properly maintained - and are available in models approved by major airlines and other public transportation providers.
