Charger from original suppliers is around £70.00 del. whereas there

Most wheelchairs use two batteries in series to give 24V. 24V sealed
lead acid chargers are less common and hence more expensive. The
wheelchair ones tend to be quite complex as well.

OK chaps. I think I have got the picture.

This is actually a *clip on* 12V motorised wheel fitted to a standard
chair.

The Battery is horizontal in use so it is certainly sealed. I am not 100%
sure about the gel bit.

I have found an outlet supplying batteries and chargers for golf trollies
which comes at £35.00 and claims to be suitable for GEL and AGM whatever
that is. The connector is *Torberry* which should fit.

Advanced Gas Mat - supposedly better than gel and takes normal lead acid
charge.
