Silver Star Multi-Purpose Battery Pack

Pride Mobility announced an update to the popular Silver Star vehicle lift line on the Pride Provider website:

"The new multi-purpose battery pack from Pride Silver Star lets your clients charge their power chair or scooter on the go. No complicated wiring is required, just plug into the vehicle's power source and it’s ready to charge. It's the most convenient way available to keep your mobility device ready to roll."

This is an innovative product that will allow users to charge their battery powered mobility vehicle while on the go in their gas powered mobility vehicle. I have not seen the new battery itself yet but I assume that it will work with any power chair or scooter that uses a similar charging plug as the standard Pride charging plugs. Permobil and Invacare users may be out of luck unless their is an adapter available.

The battery pack is an upcharge on the lift system, but the price is worth it for the ease of installation alone. I'll make an update and review on the battery pack when I get my hands on one. My Pride rep promises me that the new battery packs are in stock and ready for order.

Will this new feature help you clinch the next vehicle lift sale or help an active customer solve their mobile charging dilemmas?
