To protect the electronic components of electric wheelchairs from damage in rainy or humid environments, the following measures can be taken: 1. Avoid direct exposure to rainwater: Avoid using electric wheelchairs in heavy rain, especially on roads with deep accumulation of water. Try not to leave electric wheelchairs exposed to rain outdoors for a long time. If it is necessary to go out, carry a rain cover with you and cover the wheelchair appropriately in case of rain.

2. Waterproof treatment: Buy and use waterproof kits specifically designed for electric wheelchairs, such as waterproof covers for battery boxes, waterproof protective shells for controllers, etc. For key parts such as batteries, motors and controllers, waterproof sealing treatment should be applied to ensure that there are no gaps at the interface.

3. Instant cleaning and drying: If accidentally wet by rainwater, please clean the surface of the electric wheelchair with a dry cloth in a timely manner, especially on the battery charging port and control panel area. After use, place it in a well-ventilated and dry place to air dry naturally. If necessary, use a hair dryer to blow cool air to remove moisture, but be careful not to blow hot air directly onto the electronic components.

4. Regular maintenance and inspection: Regularly maintain the electric wheelchair, check each component for signs of water ingress, and replace old or damaged waterproof components in a timely manner. For the battery pack and circuit connecting parts, special attention should be paid to rust, oxidation and other conditions, and good moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatment should be carried out.

5. Reasonable storage: In rainy seasons or high humidity environments, electric wheelchairs should be stored indoors in a dry place as much as possible to avoid prolonged exposure to humid environments. If it must be stored outdoors, a dedicated rain shelter can be used or covered with waterproof materials to protect the wheelchair.

6. Drive with caution: - If it is necessary to drive on rainy days, reduce speed and avoid areas with accumulated water to prevent splashes from entering the interior of electronic devices. Prevention is always better than remedy. In rainy and humid environments, reducing the frequency of use of electric wheelchairs, reinforcing protection measures and maintaining good maintenance habits are the key to protecting its electronic components.
