How do I remove the chair sit so I can get to the battery

Time for a new battery. The worst thing you can do to a battery is let it sit for a long time. Once the battery was activated it is best to keep it charged while not in use. Use a trickle charger while storing your chair.

got the same problem the gel cells drain to a level that is too low for the charger. A suggested fix I have seen is to jumper a car battery across the gel cell to fool the charger so it will go into charge mode.
I have not tried this my self yet as I have to remove the chair to get to the batteries on my father in laws ride on chair. The nursing home took the chair off him and left it in a shed without it being on float charge for over 6 months and now I can't charge the chair up.

Chair is in the neutral or freewheel position to allow for pushing the chair. Place each motor in the drive position and turn chair on again.

: I recommend getting ahigh chair for babies in this age. Boosters will not provide the body sidesupport a baby needs. When your baby is sitting and stable (when about 1.5-2Years, than it is safer to try a booster.

Replace the batteries and charge before use then charge nightly for 20 days Use the chair daily so you can get a good charge nightly to get the batteries operating at 100% After the 20 days If you don't use the chair daily always store fully charged and then charge once a week overnight. Should work fine once you get the new batteries in You will need to get 2 U1 batteries for your chair do not get Wally World or automotive batteries You must replace with sealed deep cycle batteries made for power chairs Hope this helps

Your batteries are most likely dead. If your chair was covered by Medicare or insurance, you can get new batteries every year and they are covered.

Some dealers will try to get you to pay out of pocket for this service call, but let them know you won't and you'll be fine. To find a dealer that will service your particular chair, call Pride directly at 1-800-800-8586

Good Luck.

and remember, you should be able to find a dealer that will come to you to service your chair and you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket.

The battery that you need is a U1, 12V 33amp, you will need two of them. If your insurance will not cover replacement via Hoveround, you can purchase the batteries on your own at Batteries Plus, Insterstate Battery or any other battery warehouse for $75-120 each.
Remove the black webbing strap over the battery covers by squeezing the plastic pinch clip. Remove the cover carefully so that you do not yank any of the leads. Using a wrench loosen the bolts that attach the leads to the posts, be careful if there is any corrosion that may irritate your skin. Check the fuses to make sure they are still good; if not they are regular automotive fuses that are inexpensive and can be found at any auto parts store. Remove the plastic caps or any packaging from the new battery posts and seat the batteries on the tray, connect the leads to the posts as indicated and tighten with a wrench. Turn the power chair on to make sure the connections are good and that you get power. Replace the covers, and tighten the straps.
You may want to use the power chair until the battery is used up before you charge it fully for 8-12 hours; this will ensure that the battery gets FULLY cycled and any buildup inside the battery from it sitting on the shelf in the store is burned out. Make sure that you charge the power chair after a full day's use for 8-12 hours (overnight), not after every trip as overcharging can cause damage. If the power chair in not going to be used for a while, continue to charge the batteries at least one day a week to keep the batteries fluid.
Return your used batteries to the battery store or auto parts store for proper disposal. Good luck!

This is a manual wheel chair, there are no batteries. If this is not wheel chair you are asking about, the batteries may need to be replaced. They can become damaged if they have been stored or sitting unused for a while.

Of course it could be a major mal-function- but not likely.

I'm sure you've already checked to make sure the chair is in-gear. That is the levers near the rear of the chair. If you can put your hand on the chair and push the chair, it's not in gear. When in gear you won't be able to push it.

Just because the lights are coming on does not mean the batteries are good. If the chair has been sitting for a while you'll probably need to replace them.

It's likely after sitting for so long that the batteries are shot. Sealed-gel-batteries should be fully charged, then totally disconnected before storage, and then put back into service within a year, or placed back into the chair and recharged again, and disconnected again.

Test the batteries using a voltmeter set to DCV, in the 20 volt or more range. Put the probes across the terminals. A good 12 volt battery should read in the 12.5-13.5 voltage area. If it isn't hitting those numbers after a charge, it is no good; time to recycle. Your chair takes two batteries, which are gel, Group 22 or Group 24 type and will cost you about $350-$450 for a set. Group 24 will give you the maximum range for this chair.
