Abstract Electric wheelchairs are known as devices for outdoor use as mobility aids that are used when people cannot walk or cannot use their own manual wheelchairs. However, in recent years, as the desire for improving the quality of life of the disabled and elderly people with poor mobility has been increasing, the development of indoor electric wheelchairs is required. In the case of the indoor electric wheelchair, the short-time driving is repeatedly performed, so it is necessary to analyze the performance change of the electric wheelchair battery. In this study, we confirmed the battery performance according to the motor driving for a long time and compared and analyzed the battery performance according to the short time driving repetition of the electric wheelchair. As a result, it was confirmed that the use time is shortened by 18.7% compared to continuous driving when the short-term driving repetition is performed.
