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.

Charging your power chair or scooter the correct way can make them last

Whenever you need to charge your power chair or scooter get into the habit of charging overnight. The battery level indicator lights will tell you if your chair or scooter needs charging. Whenever the lights are down into the yellow and especially if they are in the red. If you have the off-board charger, plug the charger into the charger port in the front of your joystick and then plug the charger into the wall socket or turn the on/off switch on and let it charge overnight. When you get up in the morning the charger should have a red light(power) and a green light illuminated (indicating fully charged) Always turn the charger off or unplug it from the wall socket before you unplug it from the chair or scooter. Never have the power on to the charger when you plug or unplug it from your chair or scooter. Whenever you get new batteries always give your batteries a full charge before use and then if you use the chair daily charge it every night. If you do not use your chair or scooter daily charge it at least once a week. Never leave the charger plugged in and on for more than 24 hours. Your batteries should last you 3-4 years if you charge them correctly.

Helpful Information when posting problems ith power chairs, scooters or lift...

If you are having problems with a power chair, mobility scooter or lift chair Give as much information as you can. Did Medicare pay for the mobility product? How old is the product? How old are the batteries? When you are getting flashing lights on the battery level indicator or light on scooter console. Count the number of flashes ie: 4 flashes pause 4 flashes pause etc. If the lights are scrolling are they moving right to left or left to right? As much info as you can give will help in telling what problem you are having and easier to help if possible.

In problems with lift chairs does to chair go up but not down? Will the chair move up or down at all? Do you have a red light visible on your transformer that is plugged into the wall socket?

Thanks

I need to know how to charge the batterie om my sisters merits wheelchair,i do not know how to plug it up,,or if the charger is located on the frame someplace or if its freestanding.plain and simple i do...

sking the off board charger is a 5 inch by 3 inch rectangular box with a power plug on one end and a round silver 3 prong plug on the other. The charger plugs into the charger port located under the front of the joystick. Plug the charger plug into the joystick and then into the wall socket. When it is fully charged the light on the chrager will turn from yellow to green. Unplug the power from the wall socket first then unplug from the joystick In ither words always have the charger unplugged when you plug the charger up to the chair Now if the chair has an onboard charger there should be a power cord that just plugs into the chair usually somewhere in the rear of the chair all you have to do is plug it into a wall socket and charge away Hope this helps you

When turning power it makes a clicking sound but does not power up. battery charger has a red and green light on. When plugged in and turned on it flashes 8 times. I checked the power control connection,...

The chair will not move if the charger is plugged in. The flashes are normal with the charger plugged into the chair. The lights on the charger mean that the batteries have been fully charged. Red and yellow lights mean charging. After you unplug the charger from the chair (if off-baord charger, turn charger off or unplug from the wall) then unplug from joystick. after plug is removed from joystick press the on button and all the battery lights should be lit and when you move the joystick forward you will hear the electric bake release and the chair should move forward etc Hope this helps

I think you have locked your controller, or put it in "sleep mode". Turn on the chair again and push the joystick forward, then to reverse, then forward again and release. It should fire up. Let us know if that worked.

Hooveround MPV won't move

Most likely either one or both of the batteries have a dead cell. Have your batteries load tested to check their condition.
