Smart Charger are covered by Pride's warranty system and will be replaced at no charge during the warranty period. Smart Charging systems are different from previous charging systems. They produce low volts for longer periods of time. This is why Pride and other Manufacturers suggest charge every other night for shorter charging periods. Another unique feature of the Smart Charging system is that it will not charge under-voltage batteries. If 2-12volt batteries hold less than 20volts combined and the smart charger is installed, it will not work. Its programed that way. Seperate each battery and trickle charge the batteries to about 11 volts each and reconnect them and the smarter charger will then kick in and perform as its designed to bring the combined voltage back to about 25volts+. This should prevent any further problems Best Wishes W In a message dated 12/29/04 5:57:42 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
<< So I think i'm going to get a power surge protector or filter or UPS for use with my power chair. i just bought a replacement charger for $190 and i understand that is a weak point in the Pride family of power chairs. My son says to get a "Monster" brand something. Anybody have any proven gadgets for me to consider? dave >>
