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,

Batteries are all 12 volts. Their amperage will vary from 15 amps, 35 amps, 55 amp and 75 amp, but they are all 12 volts. That is why most chairs have 2 batteries to provide 24 volts. Best Wishes In a message dated 5/10/2017 10:12:41 P.M. Central Daylight Time, da...@immortaldesigns.co
