Now that lithium-ion (Li-ion) has emerged as a safe, energy-dense, reliable alternative, SLA batteries are starting to transition away from being the de-facto power source for electric wheelchairs. Because SLA power sources present several challenges to users of electric wheelchairs, the transition to Li-ion comes as an opportunity to provide a better experience with a lower overall cost of ownership. In our latest case study, you'll learn about:  - End user challenges with Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries in electric wheelchair applications - Advantages of switching to Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries as power source - How Inventus Power's new [U1LiFePRO](https://info.inventuspower.com/u1lifepro-batteries) batteries present electric wheelchair OEMs with an opportunity to upgrade their power source and improve the user experience  [![Download Case Study](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5542400/ff698a4f-a3c0-49c7-9bb9-c424fb399d75.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5542400/ff698a4f-a3c0-49c7-9bb9-c424fb399d75)   ![Blog Image_Inventus Power_U1-Emobility_V1](https://news.inventuspower.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Image_Inventus%20Power_U1-Emobility_V1.jpg?width=1583&name=Blog%20Image_Inventus%20Power_U1-Emobility_V1.jpg)   Tags: [Medical](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog/tag/medical), [Battery Packs](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog/tag/battery-packs), [Case Studies](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog/tag/case-studies), [U1LiFePRO](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog/tag/u1lifepro), [Electric Wheelchair](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog/tag/electric-wheelchair) [Back to Inventus Power Blog](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog) # How can we help you? ![](https://news.inventuspower.com/hubfs/blog-icon-phone-1.png) ![](https://news.inventuspower.com/hubfs/blog-icon-rfq-1.png) ![](https://news.inventuspower.com/hubfs/blog-icon-email-1.png) [Home](https://inventuspower.com) > [Inventus Power Blog](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog) > How the U1LiFePRO battery system is redefining electric wheelchairs - [PRODUCTS](https://inventuspower.com/products/) - [Battery Packs](https://inventuspower.com/products/battery-packs/) - [Chargers & Docking Stations](https://inventuspower.com/products/chargers-docking-stations/) - [Power Supplies](https://inventuspower.com/products/power-supplies/) - [MARKETS](https://inventuspower.com/markets/) - [Consumer](https://inventuspower.com/markets/consumer/) - [Critical Power](https://inventuspower.com/markets/critical-power/) - [Data Capture](https://inventuspower.com/markets/data-capture/) - [Industrial & Commercial Vehicle](https://inventuspower.com/markets/industrial-commercial-vehicle/) - [Lawn & Garden](https://inventuspower.com/markets/lawn-and-garden/) - [Medical](https://inventuspower.com/markets/medical/) - [Military](https://inventuspower.com/markets/military-govt/) - [Power Tools](https://inventuspower.com/markets/power-tools/) - [Professional Cleaning](https://inventuspower.com/markets/professional-cleaning/) - [TECHNOLOGY](https://inventuspower.com/technology/) - [Battery Technology](https://inventuspower.com/technology/battery-technology/) - [Patented Solutions](https://inventuspower.com/technology/innovations-patented-solutions/) - [Global Engineering](https://inventuspower.com/technology/global-engineering-support/) - [CAPABILITIES](https://inventuspower.com/capabilities/) - [Global Manufacturing](https://inventuspower.com/capabilities/global-manufacturing/) - [Testing & Certifications](https://inventuspower.com/capabilities/independent-testing-certification/) - [Sourcing & Supply Chain](https://inventuspower.com/capabilities/strategic-sourcing-and-global-supply-chain/) - [Brazil Solutions](https://inventuspower.com/capabilities/brazil-solutions/) - [ABOUT](https://inventuspower.com/about/) - [Our Company](https://inventuspower.com/about/our-company/) - [Leadership](https://inventuspower.com/about/leadership/) - [Careers](https://inventuspower.com/about/careers/) - [Locations](https://inventuspower.com/about/locations/) - [Resources](https://inventuspower.com/about/resources/) - [Blog](https://news.inventuspower.com/blog) - [REQUEST A QUOTE](https://inventuspower.com/request-a-quote/) - [CONTACT US](https://inventuspower.com/contact-us/) ©2022 Inventus Power Inventus Power is the leading source for custom power solutions.
