Your chair is still under warranty.....I would call your dealer or invacare and
tell them what it is doing....sounds like a Tech problem that they could fix
easily. Dan H***

Subject: Fwd: [QUAD-L] Battery
Ok, here is another quandary.i have an 8 month old invacare storm. WHen I turn
it off the screen says goodbye and nothing works. I have to break power to get
it to reset. If I am alone and accidentally hit the off button, I am screwed.
Strangely enough, my previous chair, a storm, did the very same thing. Never
did figure it out.Anyone else have this problem?

If it wasn't for only having one bar, I would suggest checking the brushes. It
sounds likeone may be burnt through. If you need more info send email to

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

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
