Thanks for the info………DME provider I have to deal with is a joke.

I use a 08 tdx and just went at least 6 miles and didn't use a 50% charge on 4 year old interstate maintenance free marine batteries. I got them and a polycarbonate divider that I was told should always be used when batteries are settled together. I haven't had a box with both batteries together since the late 80s. Everest & Jennings used to nestle batteries beside each other like this chair and they needed dividers that didn't come with the chair. I don't know if this will help anyone but it's an idea. I know that it's out of pocket , but electronic repair shops and many auto mechanics have been more help to me than DME's. Much faster too.

DME came out in July and was suppose to order new batteries and parts. I called in September asking where are my batteries and parts? Never got ordered. They replaced batteries Sept 9 with MK brand and replaced Oct 31 but said MK won’t warranty my current set. My parts won’t be in supposedly until Dec 14 and by then I am sure my batteries will be bad. I don’t feel I should pay out of pocket since I’ve been trying to get them to fix my chair since July.

The failure rate on those imported China Batteries have a very high failure rate and only a 6 month warranty. Make sure you place a note or sticker on each battery, as to when it was installed, then hold your provider's feet to the fire. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/1/2016 6:13:05 P.M.

I’m on my 4th set of new batteries since March Nicki From: greg [mailto:g...@eskimo.com] Sent: Thursday, December 1, 2016 5:48 PM To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] Chair Shop The chair shop just sent a guy out to check 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
