Chair stalled suddenly at full charge. Charge lights blink rapidly back and forth. What should I do?

hi,

Battery condition meter codes are as follows: Left Red LED Flashing Slowly or Steady: Battery charge is low. Charge the batteries as soon as possible. Step up of LEDs: The controller is in programming, inhibit, or charging mode. All LEDs Blinking Once Every 2.5 Seconds: The controller is in sleep mode. Power the controller off and then on again to restart. Lights Ripple Side to Side: The joystick was not in the center position when the power was switched on. Power the controller off and allow the joystick to return to the neutral position, and then power the controller back on to restart. If the lights are still rippling side to side, contact your authorized Pride/ Quantum Rehab Provider.

Regards

Your batteries are nearing replacement time. They are becoming incapable of holding a full charge.

Sounds like a battery issue. Also with the speed indicator is it blinking or ripples from side to side?

The voltmeter should read 29 volts when on. You should never replace one battery and leave an old battery in the chair. Replace them both at the same time.

hi let me see if i can help ,

When the lights go back and forth on your joystick that means the chair knows its pluged in .Now the chair itself has a built in charger that is mounted on the back of your chair .The back of the chair ,there is a opening a cutout in the frame .when you plug in your chair there will be a red light and a yellow ,yellow means the chair is charging, wait till it turns green,this means fully charged.When you plug in the chair youll see the lights through that hole.Look for the lights.

I recommend my customers to leave there chair charging over night look at the light it will be green when you turn the chair on the joystick should show fully charge.


Good luck hope i was of some help.

You can visit this website to find answers on what the flashing trouble indicator lights mean: http://www.pgdt.com/scenter/diagnostics/diagvsi.html
Locate the page that has the controller used on your power chair/scooter and count how many lights are flashing to diagnose the trouble. If your insurance purchased the power chair for you, they may also cover the repairs; contact them for information.
Good luck!

What model of power wheel chair or scooter do you have? If the red blinking light on the charger or the controller? Has the chair been stored for a while? How old are the batteries? Did you charge them for at least 8 hours? Take a look at this website to help you can diagnose the problem:

I have a Jiffy Jet3 . the problem is when I charge the batteries
the light indicator just blinks but chair doesnt run.
I just put new batteries and still doesnt run,,,thanks J.J.F.

Rapid discharge usually is a sign of weak batteries, and they should be replaced if the charge indicates that they are full after charging for several hours, and then dissipate rapidly.

If your not getting a full charge indication after several hours, then you need to check the charger to make sure it is putting out about 28 Volts DC. If it is, then it is for sure the batt's.

The sweeping lights should not occur when the chair is off the charger. They sweep while on charge to tell you that it is charging and you can't move the chair. If they sweep while off the charger, turn off and restart and it should go. If not, call a tech. rep. for Quickie.

Just had this problem with my Guardian Aspire. They had to replace the electronic box with the joy stick. BIG BUCKS!
