If I may. If this issue was an automobile, a dealer would hook up the auto to a computer to analyze the issue. Electric wheelchairs users and dealers don't have that issue. But each chair has a control module that directs energy to each motor, from the energy of the combined batteries, using the joystick as the guide. Motors, and Magnets Brakes, are the biggest users of energy on a wheelchair, so each motor and magnetic brake assembly must be tested before and during the operation of the chair to determine the high energy draw, rather than just replacing the batteries and joystick. I hope this helps. Best Wishes In a message dated 7/18/2017 10:16:08 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
My chair is possessed. I had battery issues, so changed, twice. Still was getting about 5 blocks a charge. They tried getting a new joystick, but couldn't, to old. They were going to replace entire electronics, but then I would not be eligible for a new chair. I found a joystick on Ebay. It seemed to fix it. But after a few weeks, its weird again. My charger works, tried 2 to be sure. But some days it charges full, some days none. Charged 2 nights not going anywhere, still only shows 1 bar. Now when I drive, it will just jerk, stop cold, joystick flash “ Recharge”. I drive a bit more, same thing. Does it when it says full or empty. Its like a loose wire, but if loose, it would die, go black. Sometimes it feels like the electric breaks are one while driving. I put in mode 2, slow speed and it didn't seem to jerk stop as much. Any ideas? Hoping to gwt new chair soon, Greg
