How many batteries does a pronto electric wheelchair use

SOURCE: battery won't charge

Most likely you need new batteries. On the M51 powerchair the batteries are located in the center under the seat. Step 1 - remove the seat by pulling up on the swivel handle while lifting straight up, the seat weighs about 50 lbs. After removing the seat remove the center plastic cover by liting it off.
If you have an older model M51 the batteries will each have their own cover - to replace the batteries you will see several connectors that must be unplugged. The front and rear batteries each have different connectors so keep them separate. Lift out the batteries and follow the wiring for each replace the batteries. You will need 2 U1 batteries, available at sears or your local maedical equipment supply store ( Interstate has them too) Simply reverse the removal procedure to replace the batteries making sure you follow all the connections. - good luck

SOURCE: Pronto M51 Wheelchair doesn't have as much power as it used to. Batteries are good.

Have you had the batteries load tested? How do you know the batteries are good?

Testimonial: "Took the batteries back to Batteries Plus and had them tests. Load test was good but the capacity test showed batteries should be replaced. Replaced batteries but chair drives slower then it did with the bad batteries....barely moves when on low setting. "
