This is great Frank…I’m troubleshooting my batteries on my popwerchair. Good job!!
Bless you for such a helpful video. My mom has a chair so your videos are really helpful. Thank you/
Great video for the average Joe. Appreciate it. Thanks.
Nice channel. I appreciate the good advice!
Thanks for a simple explanation 👍
I would love to see you do an explanation of upgrading to lithium batteries. Whether it is doable and pros and cons.
I have been considering trying lithium. It's an expensive endeavor. Also I'm wondering about using higher Amp Hour batteries if they'll fit for more endurance.
Lead acid batteries do not like to be discharged. They will last a lot longer if you can keep them charged fully.
Always charge your Lead acid batteries every night.
It takes about eight hours+ to properly charge Lead acid batteries. When the green light on most wheelchair chargers comes on that does not indicate that the batteries are charged.
If you're a very heavy user try and charge for an hour or so during the day.
The fastest way to destroy Lead acid batteries is to discharge them and leave them flat.
If you are not going to use your chair for a few weeks its still better to keep it charged. Maybe once a week depending on your chairs self discharge rate.
If you are not going to use your chair for a few months its best to fully charge them then disconnect the them. You will still need to charge them every three months.
Lithium batteries are different.
How could I power 12v accessories off of my chair batteries?
This is a great video, thanks for all the good info. I have left my chair without charging for 2 years, now it does not turn on. leaving the chair without charging affect the batteries? Can I save the battery or I will need to replace them?
2 years is too long, youll need to replace them. Frank

I got drive scout sf3 I have melt two battery box on - side it make good connect west box I think bad battery
Fans on chargers..must work.
Do you know how to rewire batteries in the Little Tiger Mobility scooter please.
It is a 24 volt system. 24 volts should run to the contact pads (points) on the battery pack.
Have a hoveround wont charge, charger good, plugged in, ran chair on grass several times and wore the batteries down to one light passed red light, no blinking lights except last red light.
Steve,
Sounds like its time for some new batteries. Frank 1800 717 1252
@@astrosmell when I turn it on I get a full set of lights then it goes down to the one red light and it won't charge
I have a family member who has a Quickie Qm 710 chair and it had 60ah batteries , I was wondering if I could upgrade to 75ah batteries...they appear to fit but the battery cable says 70a ...so does that mean a Max of 70ah battery?
70A Should be the fuse. The larger batteries should pose no problem. Thanks, Frank
@@astrosmell thanks for the help
If I use lithium batteries, can I use the current charger or do I have to buy a new one specifically for lithium batteries?
From what I understand, the current charger will work. However, you may want to pay attention to the charge time, as lithium charge quicker. Frank
All I got some red light on the matter with the chargers on any suggestions on what I need my name is Richard thank you
I will need more information. Call 1800 717 1252 Frank
How can I rewire my dead microphone 3 pin plug there are two 12 v legs and one neutral /negative keep accidentally running over them!
We can send you a new one, call for price and fitment. Thanks Frank 1800 717 1252
Jazzy 2 scooter worked completely fine. Parents stored it in bedroom and let the batteries die. Used a volt meter and determined no voltage on batteries. Replaced the batteries and now have power but I'm getting 8 blinking fault code. Today I will check to make sure the scooter is out of manual because yesterday I could push it around. It appeared all connections are good. Any ideas?
If it is a Jazzy select 3 pin (or 4) plug at end of cord, we can repair it. $179. Call me to get particulars. Thanks, Frank 1800 717 1252
@@astrosmell 4 pins. Will reach out soon.
@@astrosmell fixed it. The 2 side brakes were off and why I could manually push it around. Once I flipped the lever on both sides and turned it off and back on, works perfectly.
Good deal. Brakes are a nine flash. For some reason, the first set of blinks usually omits one blink. Any way, glad you on the road again. Frank
@@astrosmell It's possible I could have miscounted the blinks, lol.
Charger over heating burnt my fingers any idea's
Put your finger under cold water wery quickly
My charger from my wheelchair lite is beeping green lite
Green is usually for"GO" what is your wheelchairs make and model? Thanks, Frank 1800 717 1252
My jazzy chair won’t charge after I let the batteries go dead. The batteries were only used for 2 weeks. Is there anything I can do?
Nope, they are dust. 1 year would be the max to possibly bring them back. Sorry. Frank
@@astrosmell
The batteries are not a year yet. Got the chair last November
My husband passed mid November and I didn’t charge it
try taking the battery's out and charge them with a 12v charger, take a good car battery and hook the charger up to it first, then jump the good battery to the dead battery, ive had to use this trick with some of the newer "smart" chargers, they won't recognize a dead battery needing a charge, thinks its bad regardless.
batteries left on the floor lose charge faster because the battery uses its own energy to create heat to keep itself at a nominal temperature. and the floor acts like a heat sync
That is an old wives tale. The modern batteries do not "lose charge" when stored on the concrete. We have heard that one as well. It came from a time long ago when battery cases were made of wood.
@@astrosmell thanks for telling it, i'm so old that back in the old days we always put a battery on a block of wood or plastic, simply because the battery material would usually collect moisture and dirt, so voltage would escape down the side of the battery to the floor. with newer technology the cases don't do that. old habits die hard so i still put my battery's on something other than a cement floor, maybe i just feel i need the exercise. good video thanks for sharing
I want to change from Lead acid batteries to lithium do you sell mobility scooter chargers for lithium
I am sorry we do not. I spoke with a client who did the same earlier today. If you want to give me a call, Ill find out what he did. Thanks, Frank 1800 717 1252
The last cable I try to hook up alway big spark what going worry
Maybe try unplugging the joystick or the module before that. That will interrupt the circuit. Then when all is hooked up plug those in. Frank 1800 717 1252
Do batteries have a safety feature?
The safety feature on a set of batteries is usually the in line fuse(s), and or the push button relay. Either of which are intended to blow before the electronics do.
Charged my titan drive when done yellow lights come on and stay on and scooter will not move. battery reads charged
Give me a call. Thanks Frank 1800 717 1252

Can I change the to batteries from mobility scooter to one car batteri.?

Batteries for automobiles are designed to deliver cranking Amps when starting your vehicle. They are maintained full constantly by your vehicles alternator and do not fare well under a constant drain that your scooter demands. You need a deep cycle battery 🔋 for scooters, trolling motors, RV systems etc. Preferably one with chemistry that is non spillable such as AGM , GEL or lithium.
deep cycle batteries are also used in boats...
Talk louder or turn your microphone volume up to 7 or 8 ! Thank you
OK will do
Thank you,
Frank
@@astrosmell I've learned a lot from your presentations and I do thank you. I have severe hearing deficiency and I have my system up as loud as can without disturbing anyone. Sincerely, Monty Carlow
@@montycarlow2939 That's too bad. Sorry to hear that, no pun intended. I have vision issues, so I kinda know what you're going through. But when I read your comment, made me think of some really cool ear buds I bought at Sheetz for 40.00. They hold on to your ear really good, have a loop that wraps around the ear, and very comfortable and very loud. You might benefit from them. Good luck.
Almost forgot, they are Bluetooth.
