.I have an old quickie p 190 power wheelchair. no manual. batteries will not charge, I need new batteries but ido not know which ones. would also like a user manual. Which batteries do I need?

Hi
this is usually what occurs when the batteries are failing, much like a car battery as they age they charge fine but the amount of stored power is gradually reduced till eventually it will no longer start the car

hi.

the link below is for the owners manual for the quickie aspire power wheelchair, free download in pdf format.

the "cane crutch holder" is an acessory part that you can get, fitted to the back of the seat, to hold a crutch or cane. it does not affect the chair itself at all.
there are two most likely reasons for your problem, neither of which actually involve the arm and controller.
1. if the battery light is flashing 9 times when you try to move, then you need to check the motor locks are engaged properly. see page 27 of the manual for photos and location. these are also known as "freewheel levers" and allow you to disconnect the motors to push the chair manually. if the levers are engaged properly, it is quite possible that the switch, or switch wires have broken and the chair thinks that they are off. these are very cheap and easy to replace and are located where the lever connects inside the chair.

2. if the battery light comes on and stays on, then you may need to have the batteries checked. if the batteries have not been charged for a while then sulphur may have built up on the lead plates inside the battery. this can mean that the batteries will show fully charged, but as soon as you try to draw power, they cannot function due to the sulphur, and instantly show as flat.
any auto shop should be able to perform a battery load test for you to test this. a 100amp load test for about 6 seconds will test the battery performance and let you know if they need replacing. most places will do this test for free but the batteries need to be fully charged first.

hopefully, one of these solutions will work as these are the most common fault for the symptoms you are describing. you should find the manual quite useful as well.

please feel free to ask if you need more information.

hope this helps

The right motor will need to be replaced. What reason did they give why Meduicare wouldn't pay for repair If the Aspire is your only chair then Medicare will pay. If you have received a new chair since the Aspire then Medicare will only pay for repair to the newer chair. You can contact a repair service other than the home Medical to get the chair fixed. You can contact Roadrunner Mobility @ 1-800-467-2668 for repair Hope this helps you

You do not need to unplug the large 9 pin beau plug in the rear or the smaller 3 pin molex plug when you charge the chair. Do not unplug them or you will not charge the chair.
Use your charging cord as you describe "plug it into the front, plug it into the wall and charge, then unplug the charger cord and GO". Hope this helps.

16 HOURS BUT THE BATTERY MAY WANT REPLACING AS IT MAY NOT HOLD ANY CHARGE TRY AND SEE IF IT WORKS

You got some bad batteries or your charger is not working. If Medicare purchased the chair contact Repair Xpress at 1-877-581-3733 Medicare will pay for most of the repairs

The chair is either in freewheel or the number of flashes will indicate an error code to tell what the problem is. Look in your users manual for error codes or contact Sunrise Medical Tech support

If it is just one red light blinking, then your batteries are below the level necessary to power the chair. Charge and see if they come back up, or replace if they won't.

most chargers have an external or internal fuse, try replacing.

Try calling Sunrise @(303) 218-4500
   Will the battery charger even come on?
