Will not take a charge
Unfortunatly, your batteries need to be replaced. The batteries contain a gel that needs to have current run through it on a regular basis (at least 8 hours once a week) or it will solidify. If you attach the charger, what will most likely happen is the green light will either stay green or go to green after a very short time. The charger will indicate the batteries are full, but instead of being full of power, they are full of crud. Your warranty will most likely not cover replacment as this is due to customer neglect, but your insurance may still cover the replacement if you can wait for the process to go through. Otherwise, you will need to replace the batteries on your own, check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for the battery type. Good luck!

How do I increase the
How long have you noticed the decrease in speed? Are you charging the batteries regularly? Have you checked your air pressure in your drive tires?
If the batteries are getting old or the power chair has been stored for a while, the batteries may not be taking a full charge. If your speed indicator is showing full like always but the power chair is not responding like it used to, it may be a battery issue.
As you operate the power chair, listen for noise and pay attention to see if there is any vibration, this may indicate a mechanical problem that is causing power drain.
If not, your power chair may still be within normal parameters, just not "new out of the box" anymore. Make sure that you decrease your speed when going up inclines to avoid excess wear on the motors.
Good luck!

Unfortunately, most electrical problems cannot be fixed by the end user. Contact Pride for assistance as the controller may need to be replaced. If your insurance purchased the power chair for you, they may also pay for repairs.
Good luck!
My mom just had her
If the batteries will not hold the charge ... it is time for replacement batteries.
I have replaced the battery
Has the scooter been sitting unused for a while? If so, the charger may be showing full batteries but they have actually gone solid from improper maintenance and will no longer take a charge. If not, try checking the fuses to make sure they are not blown.
Good luck!
Charger shuts off before battery
The batteries may have bad cells that will not allow a full charge. This can happen if the scooter has been stored for a while or if the charger has remained connected 24-7 for a long time.
Try replacing the batteries; cycle them 1-2 times to ensure they will take a full charge. (This means run the battery down into the red before you put it on the charger for 8-12 hours.)
I just gave my mother
tam The batteries need to be replaced. With the lights flashing indicating low voltage and the chair just creeping means weak batteries. With a donated chair you do not know how long the chair sat without being charged. You need to purchase 2 U1 batteries. If there is a battery warehouse store near you or an Interstate battery store check with them because your cost will be less than going through a provider. Hope this helps you
Motor on left wheel won't work. goes backward a
cacheroman If you are not getting a flash code on your joystick like 4 flashes pause 4 flashes then the problem is not with the motor or brake electrically but you have a gearbox problem. I don't remember if on that jazzy if you can order just a gearbox or you have to order the motor/gearbox assembly. Now if Medicare paid for your chair then they will pay for most of the repair cost. You can contact the provider that sold the chair or a service company that has techs to come out and repair your chair. Call Repair Xpress @ 1-877-581-3733 or Roadrunner Mobility @ 1-800-467-2668 and see if they can help you Hope this helps
Need replacement batteries
Biller This chair requires two U1 batteries. If there is a local Battery warehouse or store like Interstate near you you should be able to purchase the batteries there. Now if Medicare purchased your chair then they will pay for most of the cost of new batteriesand your local provider can replace them and bill Medicare or you can call Repair Xpress @ 1-877-581-3733. Hope this helps you
How do u take the
I'm gonna assume you don't have an elevating seat. There are 4 posts supporting the seat. Under the front of the seat there is a lockig mechanism taht holds the front of the seat to the bar. There should be a rubber spacer between two knobs on the front of the seat bottom. pull the spacer out from between the two knobs then rotate the knobs towards each other. this should release the seat front and allow you to tip it upwards. you will then have to pull the seat towards the foot rest to release the back retainer bar from the rear seat posts then lift the seat off the base. Make sure that you disconnect the joystick cable before you pull the seat off. Hope this helps
No lights on charger when connected to wall socket
flobo I assume that its the on-board charger and that it is the gray charger with one light. This charger light will only come on when the chair is fully charged. Now if you have left it plugged in all night and still have no light then I would think you have a bad charger. If you have a digital voltmeter you can check the battery voltage throught the external charger port under the joystick. Set it on 200 volts and insert each probe into the outter pin holes and you should be able to read the voltage. Without the charger plugged in you will be reading the total battery voltage 24-27 volts with the charger plugged in 27-30 volts also check the meter with the charger plugged it should show something above zero and gradually decrease as the batteries become fully charged. Hope this helps

I have a jazzy power
John Do the red lights blink or steady? this indication on the joystick usually means low batteries. Now this could be caused by bad batteries or a bad charger. On the jazzy if you have an on-board charger the light on the charger will come on green when the batteries are fully charged. If you can look under the rear of the chair you will see the charger and can tell if the light is green with the charger still plugged in after charging overnite. If the light is not lit then you probably have a bad charger. If you have a digital volt meter put it on dc volts 200 volt scale and plug the leads into the two outter charger port holes located under the front of the joystick. Your battery level should read 24-26 volts after charging all nite and with the charger plugged in up to 30 volts if there is no change in the voltage from charger plugged in and not plugged in then the charger is bad. You can then look to purchase an off-board charger that plugs into the joystick charger port to charge your batteries. If your battery readings are lower than 21 volts even after trying the new charger then you will have to replace the batteries. You might try to find someone in the local area that has an off-board charger you could borrow to see if you can get the batteries to charge. This will help you find out if the batteries need replacing. Hope this helps
When you turn on the power chair an orange light
On your batteries you should have four wires to connect to the batteries. Check that you have the two wires going to the circuit breaker connected to seperate batteries and that the black wire is on the negative post of one battery and the red or white wire going to the positive post of the other battery. If these are correct then make sure that the other black wire is connected to the negative post of one battery and the red or white wire is on the positive of the other battery. Also make sure that the charger is not plugged in when your are checking the connections. Now the scrolling could mean that the chair is in "freewheel" meaning you can push the chair easily. If it is not in free wheel then the joystick could be in lockout. If you have your manual it should explain how to get it out of sleep or lockout mode. the only other cause I know that could cause this is that the charger is still plugged in or that the chair thinks that the charger is plugged in I hope this helps if not let me know and we'll sctratch our heads together
