Ordered Electrical Plug For My Power Wheelchair Lighting
[ Thursday January 30th 2025 at 2:49 am ]
I am working towards getting some motorcycle lights working on my power wheelchair. I often borrow from the motorcycle and boating industries for these types of modifications. Once I have a working demonstration I will share how I did this on my youTube channel.
The step I just completed is the purchase of a supply of waterproof connectors. Once the wires are soldered to the connector it will give the motorcycle lights a way of plugging in and connecting to the 12 volt 7aH battery. This will allow the wiring connections to occur in a waterproof environment. The connectors have a gasket to form waterproof connections.
Why I am doing this is to make it easier to see the ground in front of me so I won't puncture my air filed tires. There are solid tires available for power wheelchairs. But the solid tires pass the vibrations onto the power wheelchair user. The air filled tires are to give me a better ride and not experience as much pain from being jostled around.
In short when this is completed it will be a net gain to my life. I will be glad to have this done. This is my research and development for adding additional lighting to the mobility scooter I have purchased for myself. The footprint of a power wheelchair is much smaller than mobility scooters. A mobility scooter has a much improved suspension system compared to power wheelchair. This will mean a better quality of life for me.
