Battery-powered mobility devices empower users with greater independence and freedom. However, their performance depends entirely on the quality of the battery powering them. The right battery can improve efficiency and safety, reduce maintenance, and ultimately save time and money.
That’s why MK Battery is the #1 brand of mobility batteries among leading wheelchair manufacturers and rehabilitation equipment providers. These industry leaders trust MK to deliver dependable power—because their reputations depend on it. When you choose MK, you choose proven performance and peace of mind.
Premium Gel/Sealed Lead Acid Technology
When it comes to deep-cycle battery solutions, MK’s sealed Gel batteries are the industry standard. With up to 1,000 cycles at 50% depth of discharge—independently verified—these maintenance-free batteries offer:
-
Fully Sealed Gel Electrolyte: No liquid; safe to use in nearly any position.
-
Travel-Ready: FAA, IATA, and UPS approved for hassle-free air and ground transport.
-
Built-In Safety: Equipped with re-sealing vent systems to prevent internal pressure buildup.
-
Durable Design: Designed for longer life and dependable daily use.
Advanced AGM & Gel Battery Benefits
MK’s sealed Gel and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are engineered with advanced technology to deliver superior performance:
-
Long-lasting, consistent power output.
-
Approved for public transportation (A-67 DOT/FAA-IATA compliant).
-
No memory effect—can be recharged without full discharge.
-
Safe storage on concrete without self-discharge.
While not the lowest-cost option, MK batteries are built like quality tires for your car—reliable, long-lasting, and ultimately more cost-effective.
Performance That Goes the Distance
MK’s sealed Gel batteries are truly maintenance-free and have a proven track record of longevity—often lasting 1 to 2 years or more with proper care. For lighter-duty needs, MK also offers AGM batteries, which provide an affordable alternative while still delivering consistent performance. However, for demanding rehab and daily use, our heavy-duty Gel batteries remain the top recommendation.
Supporting the HME Community
MK Battery is proud to support the Home Medical Equipment (HME) industry and organizations that advocate for access to individualized mobility solutions. We believe mobility devices are not one-size-fits-all—and we support efforts that ensure users get the right equipment for their unique needs.
