NOT FAA COMPLIANT!
I purchased this in August of 2021. At the time the Amazon page sold it as suitable for airline travel, which seemed to indicate that I'd have no problem flying with it. At the very last hours before my flight, I learned from American Airlines that the FAA did not approve this wheelchair as sold. The problem is the battery, which is not FAA compliant (Exceeds 300 watt hours).<br /><br />The battery that comes with this wheelchair is rated 24V20Ah.  Translated, that means 24 volts at 20 amp/hours, (with "amp/hours" referring to the number of hours the battery can last).  And that translates into watt hours as 24 x 20 = 480 watt hours.  For a 24 volt battery to qualify under FAA guidelines the rating can't exceed 24V12.5Ah.  (24 x 12.5 = 300 watt hours).<br /><br />On such short notice, I ended up with no option but to cancel a trip I had planned for over a year. I like the wheelchair, but I think I deserve some compensation for the loss of my trip and hassles. There are FAA compliant lithium-ion batteries sold on Amazon that would provide adequate power yet are limited to 300WH. (E.g.:  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012HHV2J6/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A2OTUJ24ZUUY7H&psc=1.  There may be others but that was the first one I found.)<br /><br />I feel that at the very least as a showing of good will, the seller should pay for or provide one for me, and then I'll let the matter drop. Otherwise, I'll be consulting an attorney about seeking the entire damages for the loss of a trip and air fare that I had planned and paid for many months before.
