Seeelsie Check the charger's fuse located on the front of the case. If you don't see one then you might have to take it apart to see if there is a fuse inside the charger. Check it to make sure it hasn't blown. If you are getting no lights when you plug it into the wall outlet (at least the red light should be lit) if not and you can't find a fuse then you will have to replace the charger. Maybe you know someone with a chair that has an external charger you could borrow for a few hours to charge your chair until you can get one. any external or offboard charger will work so look around for the best deal. Hope this helps

Quantum edge 6 recalls?

How old are the batteries? If they are about a year old, they need to be replaced. Weak batteries could also be the problem with the joystick.

Mav your batteries need to be replaced. The voltage of the batteries is too low for the charger to pick up. Sorry but you should of removed the batteries from the chair while in storage or at least disconnected the cables. If Medicare paid for the chair then they may pay for reair if the batteries are under 6 months old then they should be under warranty contact your provider that sold you the chair Hope this helps

There is a 7.5 Amp ATO automotive fuse on the rear electronics tray that is probably burnt out. The ammeter will not work when this happens. Also, if you have a bad on-board charger that will inhibit movement of the chair. Unplug the on-board charger and see if you get it to move. Hope this helps.

Jassy 1103, will not start charging the battery.\r...

the 1103 uses an onboard charger. Charger's life span is about 3 years; some fail in 6 months, some in 6 years keep in mind. You can charge the 1103 using an offboard charger which are available for about $50.00 on Ebay. Search for electric wheelchair charger. You want one that has a 4 to 6 amp rating.

The offboard charger has a 3-prong connector on one end and the other plugs into a grounded wall outlet. Plug the charger into an outlet and the three prong connector into the female three prong connector located at the bottom front of the joystick. Give it a good overnight charge and it should be back up to snuff in the morning.
