P10 running on power wheelchair battery - or on battery pack?
i am working to get a power wheelchair - permobil c500 corpus - and i am interested in hearing from p10 users who have run the p10 using the wheelchair battery for power, or have opted to purchase the p10 battery pack. if you tried both i'd be especially interested in your feedback about which works better.
i am concerned about using the chair battery because i run the p10 all day.
thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with using the p10 on battery power.
well you need to take into account, how far do you drive the chair in a day? do you use more than 50% of the battery in a day? are you willing to charge daily or every other day? these are all questions that will weigh in on external battery options.
In my honest opinion I know no specifics on how much draw the Tobii P10 does but definitely consider using the chair battery if you answer no to the more than 50% also give your friends at Tobii a call, their official help is free for this type of question and will yield you a firm grounded answer.
Best of luck to you :)
You may have allready done something? I'm new here, I've been using my P10 for almost a year now, I have ALS, I have the same chair, I also use my P10 all day, I ended up going with two batteries, and I'm very happy with that set up.
