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

Tips for charging new batteries in Jazzy Select Traveller

Check the charger output to verify whether or not you have a bad charger using a voltmeter. These smaller batteries are notorious for having a short shelf life and poor quality control from the manufacturer. Load test the batteries after you verify you have a working charger that will bring the batteries up to the proper voltage first.

My chair has been sitting for 4 months in garage. Chair MPV5 was rarely used. When charging, battery charger indicator shows green light. Chair still does not turn on. What should I be doing?

Replace the batteries and charge before use then charge nightly for 20 days Use the chair daily so you can get a good charge nightly to get the batteries operating at 100% After the 20 days If you don't use the chair daily always store fully charged and then charge once a week overnight. Should work fine once you get the new batteries in You will need to get 2 U1 batteries for your chair do not get Wally World or automotive batteries You must replace with sealed deep cycle batteries made for power chairs Hope this helps

imwaltz Sorry buddy but if it sat that long the batteries are probably too low for the charger to pick up and charge. to bad you didn't just charge those batteries once a month while you were laid up. You will have to get new batteries. If Medicare paid for your chair they will pay for most of the repair costs. Contact Repair Xpress @ 1-877-581-3733 or Roadrunner Mobility @ 1-800-467-2668 these are 2 excellent service companies that will bill Medicare for repair and have a tech repair the chair for you. Hope this helps

My battery runs out shortly 1/4 of a mile at most

papa you don't give alot of information to try to guess what is wrong. How old are the batteries? If 2 years or older probably time for new ones. Is the charger working correctly? Does the yellow light turn green after charging overnite. If not it could be a bad charger. Of course it could be both time for new batteries and a new charger My best guess is that you need new batteries. If Medicare paid for your chair then they will pay for most of the cost of new batteries. Youe chair uses 2 U1 batteries and if there is a battery warehouse or store in your area they should have the batteries also check for an Interstate store that can get you the batteries. Hope this helps

I've been charhing the battery for 48 hours and no charge! any answers?

Kw How old are the batteries and have they been sitting up for a long time? If this is the case the charger cannot pick up really low batteries and charging them for 48 hours won't help. Unfortunately you have to get 2 new batteries. Your chair requires 2 U1 batteries. Now if the batteries are fairly new and when you plug the charger into the joystick you should be getting a red light and a yellow light on the charger. When fully charged the yellow light turns green. If you have both lights and it never turns green bad batteries if no lights or just the power light bad charger, If you have a digital voltmeter you can set it on 200 volts dc and place the leads in the two outter charger plug holes on the joystick. It should read the battery voltage fully charged 25-27 volts HOPE THIS HELPS

It's likely after sitting for so long that the batteries are shot. Sealed-gel-batteries should be fully charged, then totally disconnected before storage, and then put back into service within a year, or placed back into the chair and recharged again, and disconnected again.

Test the batteries using a voltmeter set to DCV, in the 20 volt or more range. Put the probes across the terminals. A good 12 volt battery should read in the 12.5-13.5 voltage area. If it isn't hitting those numbers after a charge, it is no good; time to recycle. Your chair takes two batteries, which are gel, Group 22 or Group 24 type and will cost you about $350-$450 for a set. Group 24 will give you the maximum range for this chair.

Battery will not fully charge but will run with partial charge

Two things can be wrong, first your batts may be old and need new ones. Have them load tested at an auto part store. Most powerchairs use two 12 volt batts. If you batts are good you should have between 12.5 and 13.5 volts on a surface charge and 11.5 to 12.5 on a load test charge. Second, if you had your chair stored away for a couple of months then your batts died and need to be replaced. If you are luck a "boost charge" might work. If you are planing to keep it stored for months at a time, you must charge the chair once every couple of weeks to keep batts fresh.
