Mobility Scooter Batteries

Elsewhere

My MIL's mobility scooter batteries (supplied with the scooter when new) have virtually died after just over 2 years - pretty much expected lifetime. I would have gone back to the company we purchased it from for replacements, but they have sadly gone bust.

Has anyone any advice about replacements, please - particularly good or bad makes or suppliers? Reliability is as important as price - I don't want her to be stranded a long way from home!

It's a Shoprider soverign 4 - pretty common sort of buggy with small wheels which you charge with the batteries in place (2 x 34Ah is what is in there at present) - but not the sort of buggy that dismantles for transport.

Somewhere on the batteries there will be a full type number, google it and you should be spoilt for choice from various vendors, dont discout ebay either, i picked up a pair of batteries for £120 delivered last year. I would avoid the specalist mobilty shops as, in my experience, they seem to add a high premium on everything they sell.

I found a battery for my auntie on blue box batteries website. It was a really good price compared to other places so I would recommend looking there.
