Wheelchair/Scooter battery advice

[sqbr]

My battery has started running out AGAIN only a few months after getting it replaced last time. Anyone else had this problem? Is it plausibly just the price I pay for living on top of a really big hill? And if you live in Perth, where do you get yours replaced? I've been using Scooters Australia, which costs about $600 ie RATHER MORE than I'd like to be spending every few months /o\

Have been recharging whenever I'm not using it, trying not to let it run down too low when I'm out, and trying to keep the wheels inflated though we did forget about that for a while. And it's still run out faster than it did before I started doing any of those things.

had problems with mine recently and when i got it replaced the guy at the shop told me it was because i'd basically used a crappy off-brand battery as a replacement. i got it at a battery store that said it would work fine, but i guess that brand isn't designed for use in that kind of medical equipment or something. of course, then the one that guy told me to get instead that he said is better costs more, but he said it wouldn't die as soon like that. i don't know if it'll continue being true because i haven't had the new ones long enough, but maybe that is the case.
