Assisted systems for disabled people.
Stair lifts and stair-climbing power wheelchairs restore mobility and freedom of movement for disabled people. They provide increased independence and personal safety for those who need help climbing stairs, boarding a plane or a boat, or entering a public building.
In common with electric wheelchairs, weight is a key challenge for these specialised assisted mobility systems, particularly when they need to be portable or stowable. Saft lightweight mobility batteries can help to keep the weight to a minimum.
The key requirements for batteries for assisted mobility systems are:
- reliability
- light weight
- robust construction
- high performance
- long duration between charges
- low maintenance
- long service life
Battery solutions
Saft VH and Smart VH Ni-MH batteries are ideally suited for electric powered assisted mobility systems. They offer:
- reliable performance
- zero maintenance
- long lifecycle
- high power to weight ratio
- significant weight saving compared with traditional lead-acid batteries
