Dead chairs usually mean no power in the batteries or a mechanical failure. You mentioned, new chair, so I'm leaning towards the batteries. Check the battery connections and make sure that the integrity between your cables and charger is good. Poor connections mean that your batteries are not being properly charged. I always promote the knowledge and training associated with a new chair. Owners should know every bit about their equipment so they don't have to wait as long for evals and repairs. Hope this helps.

I got my new Permobile last week. I'm having trouble reaching the mode button with my pencils with rubber on my splints. It was running pretty well until today my aid was taking me to my mom Oscar house and when I got there the chair was dead. Any of you who have one know how hard it is to wish the chair out of a van and into the house on manual. It was after 5 p.m. so I could not call the dealer. Has anybody else ever have a problem like this and what was it? Dana (C-4-5, 35 years post, 56, Prairie Village Kansas)
