- A portable Power Wheelchair Charging Station (standard power, XLR charging cables and 2 USB ports) is available by request at the Security Desk on the 1st floor.
- The charging station is specifically for charging power mobility devices, such as power wheelchairs and scooters.
- The charging station uses a 24-volt, five-amp universal charger, which is suitable for the majority of mobility devices.
- Designed to safely charge without overheating or damage.
- Provides short, boost-style charges to extend the device’s functionality during a visit to City Hall.
- Top-up charges are safe for occasional use, frequent reliance on short charges without an overnight charge may reduce battery lifespan. While the charging station may indicate a full charge after a boost, it does not replace a complete overnight charge.
