Jiangsu Yongchang Selected to Help Develop New National Standard for Electric Wheelchair Lithium Batteries

Jiangsu Yongchang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has been selected as a participating organization in the development of a new national standard for lithium batteries used in electric wheelchairs. The selection recognizes the company’s practical experience in battery technology, manufacturing, and application support for rehabilitation mobility equipment.

Why Standardization Matters for Rehabilitation Mobility

Electric wheelchairs, including mobility products designed to operate on stairs, place demanding requirements on their energy systems. A battery pack must support dependable power delivery while fitting within the product’s space, weight, and operating constraints. Safety, reliability, usable range, cycle life, environmental adaptability, and well-managed charging and discharging are therefore important considerations throughout battery design, production, integration, and service.

A national standard for this application is expected to support a clearer and more consistent quality baseline across the industry. Areas such standards commonly address may include safety performance, electrical characteristics, durability, environmental conditions, labeling, testing, and battery management. The exact scope and technical provisions will be determined through the formal standard-development process; the standard number and official title have not been disclosed in this announcement.

Contributing Practical Battery Expertise

As a participating organization, Jiangsu Yongchang will contribute its practical experience in electric wheelchair battery research and development, battery management systems (BMS), pack integration, manufacturing quality control, and application support. This contribution will focus on helping the standardization process consider the real operating conditions and integration challenges encountered by mobility equipment manufacturers and users.

Battery performance in a rehabilitation mobility product depends on more than cell selection alone. The pack structure, BMS strategy, thermal and electrical protection, connector and interface design, production consistency, and compatibility with the host equipment all affect real-world results. Drawing on its experience across these areas, Yongchang aims to provide measured, application-oriented input without overstating conclusions that remain subject to the formal drafting and review process.

Expected Value for the Industry

Greater consistency in electric wheelchair lithium batteries is expected to benefit equipment manufacturers, battery suppliers, service partners, and end users. A shared technical reference can help strengthen quality expectations, support more effective supplier communication, and improve alignment between battery packs and mobility platforms. Over time, this can contribute to user safety, more predictable product performance, and better coordination across the supply chain.

Standardization can also support the long-term competitiveness of China’s rehabilitation mobility and battery industries. Common evaluation principles make it easier for manufacturers to compare performance, manage quality, and communicate technical requirements. They may also provide a stronger foundation for continued product improvement and for engagement with international customers who expect traceable, consistent, and professionally managed battery solutions.

Continued Commitment to Quality and Customers

Jiangsu Yongchang views its selection as both recognition and responsibility. The company will continue investing in battery research, verification and testing, manufacturing quality, and responsive customer service. It will also work with relevant participants in a professional and evidence-based manner as the new national standard is developed.

Through continued attention to battery safety, system compatibility, production consistency, and application needs, Yongchang remains committed to supporting reliable lithium battery solutions for electric wheelchairs and the broader rehabilitation mobility sector.
