yes, after period of time the battery will need replacement my wife has a wheelchair and we just replaced her battery after 5 yrs. If you are looking for replacement i recommend searching on-line cause they can be a bit expensive.
The lights are working, the batteries aren't. Red indicates power to the charger, and it should be on all the time. Green indicates a full charge, usually. If one or both of the batteries are totally dead, then the charger can't "see" them, and you will get a green light, but you will have dead batteries.
All power chairs use sealed, deep-cycle batteries. Deep cycle batteries, are designed for slow amperage dischare over a long time period, unlike a car battery that throws out a lot of amperage for turning the motor over. That's called "cold-cranking amps", and you can load-test a car battery to see if it will throw out a ton of amps for long enough to start a car. There is NO load tester made, or possible for a deep-cycle battery. A load test requires a 24-hour time period, and a complicated formula.
So, your course is to get some fresh, gel-sealed-batteries. You will need type U-1. Specify, gel-sealed-batteries when you go to the battery shop. A fresh set should get the chair up to about 12-16 mile range, which would be about 3-4 hours running constantly at high speed. Good luck.
The batteries really need to have their level checked with an ohm meter. If the chair is left unplugged from the charger and unused for a long period of time,the volts can drop below 12vltsDC and the charger won`t be able bring them back up. You may have to call a dealer or find a friend with an ohm meter.
