MK Batteries are the best on the market, bar none. If they try and supply you with vented lead acid batteries, let the manufacturer know using your vin or serial number of your chair. Make sure that lead-acid batteries do not void any manufacturer warranty. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/1/2016 7:45:01 P.M. Central Standard Time, ddh...@sbcglobal.net writes:
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.

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
