Outside of living costs, my wheelchair batteries are slowly approaching end of life due to... idk planned obsolescence bullshit with lithium-ion batteries and how much you can charge them and get out of them per charge as they get older and-- a lot of shit I don't understand but the point IS, they're slowly dying on me.

My wheelchair is how I go places without a million exhaustion Every Time. The optimal OEM replacement is $500 (plus whatever shipping); I can't even figure out what non-OEM option might work, plus I'd rather not risk fires and explosions. (Mind you, I don't know why a 24v 20Ah (480Wh) battery is $500 but that's fucking disability markup for you. 🙃🙃)

(Also, I need a better/different cushion. My tailbone hates my current one - it worked great for my old chair but... lmao.)

We have a vague plan to ask a local-ish medical supplies store if they carry or can get this battery and if so, how much (aka will it be a better price than ordering it ourselves) but we'll still need to be able to *pay* for it.

So... if anyone is able to help out, that's great. 💕 (If any of y'all know someone who can absolutely spare a whole $500 at once, stick this in their face and be like "come on help them keep their independence" lolol.)

For real tho, passing this along to a wider circle is A++, the more eyes the better, and if that's all you can do: thank you!! I appreciate it! If you can manage $1, or $5, or $10, $25, whatever increment you can spare: thank you!! I appreciate it!

My cashapp is $Inoru
