When is One Battery Not the Same as Another?

I must start this blog with the caveat that my entire life, I don't remember a repair person ever visiting our house for anything and my dad always doing the automobile repair work on the cars at our house.

Last week, my father who is now 83 years called the medical supply company to order an new battery for the electric wheelchair. He was stunned to hear that they wanted $325.00 for a new battery.

Being from the old school of where people repaired their own cars, my father just went to the auto supply store and bought a new battery for $40.00 and put it in the wheelchair.

Viola!! It works just fine.

Just another example of people with medical needs being ripped off.

I would have assumed the the wheelchair need a special kind of battery, but no, a regular battery works just fine. How many times have we the uninformed public been taken advantage of like this?
