I'm in almost the same exact situation as you Greg...I have a meeting tomorrow
with my medical supplier to help with trying to get a new chair...mine is over
7 years old and losing power just like yours...i used to get about 8 miles also
when I had the jell type batteries my chair originally came with but they will
only replace mine with the acid type when the original ones wear out, they said
due to cost and etc. I hope I can get a new chair with the jell batteries and
keep this for a back-up....because my old back up chair is shot. Dan H**

my chair, to see why the batteries are not holding a charge. I get about 3 to 4
miles. I use to go 8 miles fine. I do not think he knew his butt from a hole in
the ground. All his answers were “Charge it longer, needs 12 hours a day” I've
been in a chair 34 years, never charged it 12 hours a day and I wet 13 miles
one day. Just got new batteries 2 ½ months ago. He did no real testing other
than an Amp? Meter. They will replace the batteries, and hope its that. Hope
its not the chair draining them for some reason. I'd like to get it at least
running good before I get a new one. I'd like to keep it as my backup. Greg
