I have a pride go chair that is only one year old. I USE IT INSIDE MY HOUSE ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY AND CHARGE THE BATTERIES EVERY NIGHT. The off board charger has already been replaced once under warranty. Isn't it too new for batteries to go bad? or is it just a lemon???

The small batteries (17 Amp hour I believe) are notorious for lasting a year and often much less. I consistently replace the original OEM batteries supplied with this chair at the 6 month point. The manufacturer warrants these sealed gel lead acid batteries for only 6 months. Try the AGM (advanced glass mat ) batteries and you should get better life out of them. They might be more expensive at retail pricing but your insurance should pay for the better batteries in my experience. Make sure the charger replaced under warranty is the correct amperage for these small batteries otherwise the output could burn the battery plates.

My jazzy 600 chair was working fine. Now I cannot go up or down a simple ramp. The chair works just fine until the ramp hits wheels then the chair shuts off and leaves me stuck. Please any help is...

have the batteries checked, there are two gel cell 12 volt batteries, that if one or both will not hold a charge, they will fail on incline as the load on the chair is greater going up hill. Test this out by trying a hill near your house. I had to change one of the batteries in another model Pride that my wife uses for the same problem. The one battery would not hold a charge.

What are the cost od replacenebt batteries? The offf board has alreadtv been replaced under warrant it is only one year old AND USED VERY LITTLE IN THE HOUSE, IS IT A LEMON?

Did you purchase the chair or Medicare? This chair has small batteries that need tender loving care If you do not use it often you need to charge the chair at least once a week and always put it up fully charged. Once the batteries get weak then no chair charger will pick them up. Check with a local battery warehouse or similar supply store for 2 12/12 batteries. Hope this helps

Had new batteries and a service 6 months ago. Has now been left standing for a couple of months. I charged it up last night, but nothing. The charger appears to be working, lights working. Any ideas

Yes your batteries have dropped below 9 vlt each and they wont chage using your charger. Yuo must take a car battery charger and charge each battery up to at least 11vlts for your charger to charge! This ought to work if batteries have only been sitting a couple of mths . When using a car charger set charge at 6-10 amps for about 45mins to 1hr then hook up chair charger and you should be ok
