Charging your power chair or scooter the correct way can make them last

Whenever you need to charge your power chair or scooter get into the habit of charging overnight. The battery level indicator lights will tell you if your chair or scooter needs charging. Whenever the lights are down into the yellow and especially if they are in the red. If you have the off-board charger, plug the charger into the charger port in the front of your joystick and then plug the charger into the wall socket or turn the on/off switch on and let it charge overnight. When you get up in the morning the charger should have a red light(power) and a green light illuminated (indicating fully charged) Always turn the charger off or unplug it from the wall socket before you unplug it from the chair or scooter. Never have the power on to the charger when you plug or unplug it from your chair or scooter. Whenever you get new batteries always give your batteries a full charge before use and then if you use the chair daily charge it every night. If you do not use your chair or scooter daily charge it at least once a week. Never leave the charger plugged in and on for more than 24 hours. Your batteries should last you 3-4 years if you charge them correctly.

Jet7 power chair flashing red and yellow lights and not staying charged but a few hours at a time, had battery check, said they were ok. help

Hi June,
Any electromechanical device requires occasional troubleshooting. However, most problems that arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge. Below are a series of basic troubleshooting instructions for the Jet 7 Power Chair. This information is to be used as a supplement to the troubleshooting instructions provided in the owner's manual. If you have any questions about this information, contact your authorized Pride Provider. What if the systems on my Jet 7 seem to be "dead" (controller does not light up when the on/off key is pressed)? ! Make sure the batteries are wired properly-refer to the battery wiring diagram located on the power base. ! Make sure the connections on the battery terminals are tight and secure. ! Make sure the battery quick-disconnect harness connections are fully joined. ! Make sure the main circuit breaker has not tripped-push in the main circuit breaker reset button. ! Make sure the controller is completely connected to the power base. What if the range per charge of my Jet 7 diminishes over time? ! Determine if the batteries have ever been replaced. Batteries over a year old may be defective. ! Determine how frequently you charge the batteries in comparison to how often you use the power chair. If you use your power chair on a daily basis, you should charge the batteries every day for 8-14 hours. ! Determine when the batteries were last charged. Even if the power chair has not been in use, the batteries should be charged once a week for 12-14 hours. ! Determine how long you let the batteries charge. It takes 8-14 hours to fully charge a depleted set of batteries; continual undercharging reduces the overall life of the batteries. ! Observe the ammeter during battery charging to determine if the batteries are receiving a charge. If the ammeter does not go up when the battery charger is plugged into the charger power cord receptacle and an electrical outlet, the batteries are not getting charged. Check the charger fuse and ensure the electrical outlet is good. ! Determine if a wall switch controls the electrical outlet used for battery charging. If a wall switch does control the outlet and the switch is turned off inadvertently, the batteries will not fully charge. ! Is an extension cord being used to connect the battery charger to the electrical outlet? Pride prohibits the use of an extension cord when charging the batteries. The charger should be plugged directly into a properlywired standard electrical outlet as the length and condition of the extension cord can have an adverse affect on the battery charger. ! Determine how far you let the battery condition meter LEDs go down before charging the batteries. If you continually allow the battery condition meter LEDs to fall into the red area, the overall life of the batteries will be reduced. What if my Jet 7 is operating slower than it has in the past? ! Determine when the batteries were last charged. When the battery charge gets low, the batteries supply less power to the motors, which causes the motors to spin slower. ! Determine the temperature of the power chair at the time the problem occurred. The Jet 7 electrical system will protect itself from overheating when its internal temperature gets too high by reducing the amount of power sent to the motors. When this happens, the power chair will gradually slow to a stop. Allow the power chair to cool down and it will resume normal operation.
What if my Jet 7 begins pulling to one side? ! Determine if the joystick is being deflected straight or at a slight angle. Even a small amount of deflection right or left will cause the chair to veer over a long distance. ! Determine if both manual freewheel levers are in the drive position. If only one manual freewheel lever is in the drive position, the other motor will not operate and the Jet 7 will veer severely. ! Determine if both tires are inflated to the proper psi if the power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires should be inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar). If one tire is inflated more than the other, the power chair will pull to the side that is underinflated. ! Determine if the caster wheels are pivoting freely. If either caster wheel is not pivoting freely, the unit will veer to the side. What if the Jet 7 powers up, but will not move? ! Determine if both manual freewheel levers are in the freewheel position. If the power chair is in freewheel mode, then the electronics will function but the motors will not spin the wheels. ! Determine if the controller is flashing a fault code. The Jet 7 comes equipped with a VSI controller. The VSI controller will flash a code via the battery condition meter LEDs if a system fault is detected.
# OF LEDS CODE CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION One red LED 1 Low battery voltage Charge batteries Two red LEDs 2 Left motor open Make sure left motor is plugged into controller. Three red LEDs 3 Left motor wiring fault Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Three red LEDs 4 Right motor open Make sure right motor is plugged into controller. One yellow LED Three red LEDs 5 Right motor wiring fault Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Two yellow LEDs Three red LEDs 6 Inhibit active Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Three yellow LEDs Three red LEDs 7 Joystick error Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Four yellow LEDs Three red LEDs 8 Controller error Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Four yellow LEDs One green LED Three red LEDs 9 Brake fault Make sure both motors are plugged into controller. Four yellow LEDs Two green LEDs Three red LEDs 10 High battery voltage Contact your authorized Pride Provider.
What if the speed LEDs on the VSI begin to flash? ! Determine if the battery charger is connected to the power base. When the battery charger is connected to the power base, an internal charger inhibit feature keeps the power chair from driving. This is indicated by the VSI speed LED(s) flashing. ! Determine if the charger harness fuse has blown. A blown charger fuse can cause the charger inhibit to activate. ! Determine if all controller connections are plugged into the power base properly. If the 3-pin charger inhibit connector is not plugged in properly, then the charger inhibit feature will activate. What if the speed LEDs on the VSI begin to scroll? ! Determine if the VSI has been placed in lock mode. The VSI is equipped with a lock mode feature that prevents unintended use of the power chair. If the VSI is in lock mode, deflect the joystick full forward until it beeps, and then deflect the joystick full rearward until it beeps. The joystick should go back to the drive function.

Your chair voltage REGULATOR may also be going bad which appears to be WITHIN the "Main Brain" of your chair?
"TECO FM-50"

regulator-gkhd23p0qwnavtoilob1hbhw-1-2.jpg From the above schematic ~ there is a "Potentiometer" shown (lower left) that MAY be 'dirty' and needs a tiny squirt of "QUALITY" contact cleaner WITH SILICONE to help keep the internals clean... looks something like this (a Google Search):


clean-gkhd23p0qwnavtoilob1hbhw-1-5.png

I would also spray ALL of your control switches too including the inside of your joystick controls! Just a REAL QUICK squirt should do it... if it drips, you've used too much.

I hope this HELPS YOU!

No flashing LEDs. Joystick and charger indicate full charge.

Time to replace battery - not taking a charge properly.

Hello, After fully charging my mother's Jazzy power chair overnight, the rear battery indicator/pointer shows zero meaning it's fully charged. I leave it unplugged all day and then by 5pm when I check...

Sorry but it sounds like weak batteries. I would replace both batteries and after installation fully charge before use. Then ask Mom to use the chair more each day so you can charge them overnight each day for the next 20 days. It will break in the batteries and get them operating at 100%. If you can get her to use it more and charge it overnite and always put it up at full charge the batteries should last 2-3 years Hope this helps

Batteries fully charged. When traveling aprox. 300 feet full speed the batery indicator says the chair is out of power and slows to a crawl. after letting it rest for a few minutes the Indicator says...

Has your power chair been sitting unused for a while? It sounds like your batteries have become damaged and are having problems discharging the power smoothly or may not be taking a full charge.
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.
Good luck!

Battery indicator keeps fluctuating to 4hrs to 6hrs back to 4hrs then 8hrs every 5 mins or so i have acer A0532H with windows 7

first of all let me ask how old is the battery, if it`s new-discharge the battery until pc shuts down itself because of low battery, remove the battery , unplug AC charger from laptop, wait for 5 minutes, then hold power button for 5 full seconds, wait another 5 minutes, then put battery and ac charger on , don`t turn on laptop yet, wait until battery indicator shows that battery fully charged, then remove AC charger, and turn on laptop. P.S. you can try this on old battery too, but usually worthless, because old batteries are not recognizable by system currectly ..

Driving to milwaukee and my battery light turned on. never happened before. got to where i was going, turned off the car, let it sit for a min, turned it back on and the light was off. left a few hrs...

Hi:
The battery light means that your Alternator is not charging the battery. Thankfully, your cars battery was fully charged, and I am guessing that you were driving during the day, because if you were using your headlights, you would have been in trouble.
Basically, a fully charged battery should read about 12.6 volts, and when your car is running, you should be able to measure about 14 volts across the battery, because that is the output of your alternator. You can get your alternator tested for free at a local auto parts store, such as Auto zone, as it is the most likely thing to change.
