Understanding Carbon Gel Batteries
Carbon gel batteries are one of the newer battery technologies available for mobility equipment. Here's a closer look at what they are and why they're worth considering.
What is a carbon gel battery?
A lead-carbon battery that combines lead-acid technology with carbon additives, taking on some of the fast-charging behaviour of a supercapacitor while retaining steady energy storage.
Why choose carbon gel over a standard battery?
Reduced sulfation, faster charging, and the maintenance-free benefits of a sealed gel battery make this technology a strong option for everyday use.
Looking after your carbon gel battery
Regular charging, even when your equipment isn't in frequent use, helps maximise the lifespan of a carbon gel battery.
Comfort, range and independence
Why Choose Advanced Carbon Gel Batteries
Fast charging, a longer working life and maintenance-free design make Advanced Carbon Gel a strong choice for mobility equipment.
Faster charging
Carbon additives give these batteries some of the rapid-charging characteristics of a supercapacitor, helping them charge more quickly than many standard batteries.
Extended lifespan
The carbon technology helps reduce sulfation, a common cause of battery wear, supporting a longer working life.
Sealed and maintenance-free
Like other sealed gel batteries, there's no need to top up fluid levels, making day-to-day maintenance simple.
Reliable everyday performance
Consistent energy storage and steady power delivery make these batteries well suited to mobility scooters, powerchairs and electric wheelchairs.
Buying guide
How to Choose the Right Carbon Gel Battery
A few things worth checking before choosing a replacement carbon gel battery.
1
Check the amp-hour (Ah) rating you need
Higher Ah ratings generally mean longer range between charges. Your existing battery's rating is a good starting point if you're replacing like-for-like.
2
Confirm the physical size fits your equipment
Battery compartments vary between models, so check the dimensions of your current battery or your equipment's manual before ordering.
3
Check whether you need one battery or a pair
Some scooters and powerchairs run on a single 12V battery, while others need two batteries wired together for a 24V system.
4
Get in touch to confirm compatibility
If you're at all unsure, contact our team with your equipment's make and model and we'll confirm the right battery and arrange fitting if needed.

Common questions
Advanced Carbon Gel Batteries FAQs
Common questions about Advanced Carbon Gel batteries, including charging speed, lifespan and fitting.
What is a carbon gel battery, and how is it different from a standard battery?
An Advanced Carbon Gel battery is a lead-carbon battery that blends traditional lead-acid technology with carbon additives, taking on some of the rapid-charging behaviour of a supercapacitor while keeping the steady energy storage of a sealed gel battery. This combination helps reduce a common cause of battery wear, extending its working life.
Do Advanced Carbon Gel batteries charge faster than standard batteries?
Yes, the carbon additives in these batteries support faster charging compared to many standard lead-acid or AGM batteries, while still maintaining reliable energy storage for everyday use.
Do these batteries last longer than standard ones?
The carbon technology used in these batteries is designed to reduce sulfation at the negative electrode, a common cause of reduced battery life, which can help them last longer than standard sealed batteries with similar use.
Can I fit the battery myself, or can you do it for me?
You're welcome to fit it yourself if you're comfortable doing so, but our team can also fit your new battery for you, either in-store at our Lee-on-the-Solent showroom or as part of a home visit.
How do I know which battery fits my equipment?
Get in touch with the make and model of your mobility scooter, powerchair or other equipment, and our team will confirm the correct Advanced Carbon Gel battery size and capacity for it.
