Mrs B4Ws wheelchair batteries have been getting really tired of late and ordered some new ones yesterday and unbelievably they turned up first thing this morning less than 24 hours from ordering.

Thats the good part.

This is the wiring on one of the batteries, the chair has 2 in parallel



While peeling back the boot on the positive terminal i some how managed this, it was a very snug fit I have to say




For now I have just pushed the wires into the flat end (whatever its called) and secured with plenty of electrical tape and thank goodness the chair fired up and is working fine.

So, how would the wire normally be attached to the flat end and how long can I expect my heath Robinson repair to last?

Obviously I need to get a replacement but would you believe that my local wheelchair, all things for the disabled type shop is not deemed an essential business and is currently forced to close, but thats another discussion not for here.
