New batteries are only warranted for 6 months from most battery manufacturers. I believe that MK Batteries will offer you one year. Battery manufacturers are as different as beer makers. What brand of batteries are you using in your chair? Batteries should be charged every night overnight after you are done with your chair for the evening. Check your charger to be sure that it is not over heating during the battery charging process. You could also have a friend check the connections on those batteries to be sure they are all "nice n tight" Loose connections affect the charging of your batteries and make your charger work harder. Happy Easter.... its a major Holiday. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/24/2016 3:42:43 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Last week on Monday and Tuesday morning my house smelled like sewer gas/sulpher/rotten eggs. Called a plumber and he couldn’t find anything but while chatting and looking around he asked what kind of batteries I had in my chair. I decided not to charge my chair Tuesday night and Wednesday morning there was no smell. Called wheelchair company and told them my scenario and they suggested using spray air to clean out the charger. We did that, nothing really came out and plugged charger in Wednesday night. No smell until this morning. Anyone else have similar issue and was it your batteries, the charger or both? I was outside yesterday and my chair has shown full battery bars every day, however, my chair wouldn’t move and looked at joystick screen and it says low battery. Chair did not charge last night and obviously hasn’t charged for at least a week. Wheelchair vendor can’t come out until Monday to assess the chair, then order batteries etc, will have to schedule another day to install once they come in……………they don’t do emergency calls. Spent $340.76 out of pocket for new batteries………..should I be looking for a new wheelchair dme company or is this just the way it is? I just can’t believe they couldn’t loan me batteries to get me through the weekend, nor would they sell me any. Nicki
