GOAT Learning Labs: Powerchair Batteries!

Learning Labs today at GOAT Space, 12pm – 1pm

Powerchair batteries!

What powers a power wheelchair? We’ll open up a chair, find its batteries, look at how they’re connected and discuss common battery problems. Participants will practice documenting connections, disconnecting/reconnecting batteries and doing basic voltage checks. No experience needed, questions are welcome.
