Re: [QUAD-L] Battaries
OK, if you wish. I'm not here to change your mind or anyone else's Pre-conceived Notions are impossible to dispel. Have you actually talked with someone at Medicare/Medicaid. Good Luck in your journey. I truly hope you win. Best Wishes In a message dated 8/8/2017 10:14:39 P.M.

Re: [QUAD-L] Battaries
Bet ya dollar to donuts Medicare/Medicaid will pay for the repairs to your chair, but not thru the provider who is trying to get a new chair. Call Medicaid/Medicare and ask for yourself and a referral to a repair provider. 2 that I know of are Wheelchair & Scooter Repair-Solutions in Maryland 888-584-3095 The other is X-Med in Texas. These companies can only repair, and not sell them. Hope it works for you as Knowledge is POWER. Best Wishes In a message dated 8/8/2017 8:16:11 P.M.

My chair is so weird, I can charge it all day and night, but it still say not charged. Or I can run it almost dead, and it charge full just over night. I charged it all day, and all night, went dead after 2 miles. A few days ago I went 6 miles. It kind of feels like the breaks come on while driving sometimes. Other times it feels like something comes loose and my chair comes to a dead stop. I can't do too much to it because I'm trying to get a new chair. Greg
