Panasonic SLA Batteries Fail

I used two (2) of these Panasonic sealed lead acid batteries 12v 18ah to replace the original UB ones on my Golden Literider electric wheelchair... These were not good at all. I thought by buying a brand name, I would get good quality, but no. These failed from the get-go...  Quick to drain and would not last long enough to get me outdoors so I was stuck indoors for the year and a half that it lasted until they finally died on me. The new ones I got are JSL II brand and I upgraded to 20ah and so far, the JSL II are holding up very well.

Plus cost of a new battery pack 8k pesos, if needed. Plus the cost of shipping it back to me 2k. It's not worth it. MY REVIEW: Long battery life with lithium. BUT the battery box cannot

Golden literider ptc 162 model in red. I have a powerchair! Yay! The first picture is the salesman adjusting the metal plate to go up a notch for me. A powerchair was on top of my to-buy list while in Florida. We headed straight to the medical supplies store our first week in. I love my red chariot! Weeee!
