Thank you, thank you, thank you. You just saved me $135 plus labor. My mom's electric wheelchair has been sitting idle for six months and we decided it was time to sell it. Of course, the batteries had completely drained even though they were new ones. Your technique worked like a charm. I did do ene thing different. The chair's connector was not 2 slots but 4 holes, like a trailer light connector. Instead of putting the stripped wires into the connector, I put them directly onto the battery posts, but only for enough time to plug in the wheelchair's regular power supply. As soon as the power supply lights turned green and indicated the wheelchair's power supply was charging, I unplugged the extra 12 volt power supply. 10 hours later and the batteries are fully charged and the chair is working again just fine. This was the ONLY KZitem video I found that had this trick and it worked. Again THANK YOU!!!

The batteries had become sulfated and the low voltage charger went and dissolved enough sulpher to allow the battery to accept a charge again. Myself I use a resistor of maybe 5 ohms 25W together with by 12V adjustable 40A power supply. I raise the current to about 100mA then once it starts to rise on its own, I will raise the current to about 2A until the battery reaches maybe 8V. This can take several hours. I do have a suitable multimeter for doing this. Your trick is great for getting the charger to start but it may not be enough for the batteries to hold much of a charge. If you leave the 12V charge on for several hours, you are more likely to do a better job desulphating the batteries and getting a longer life from them. Though this does not work every time. In the last couple years I saved 2 car catteries this way. By the way I use a Quantum Q6 Edge wheelchair I bought second hand about 4 years ago. I am now having to recharge it with the 24V charge about every 4 days and I suspect the batteries are reaching their natural end of life. The dealer I bought it from had about 20 powered wheelchairs i n his back room and all of them were plugged in, so there was no issue from the batteries going bad from lack of use. The batteries in it are about 10 years old now and it is getting to be time. I am a retired electronics engineer and in the 1980s, for a couple years I designed industrial battery chargers.

Just remember that if you have left any sort of lead-acid battery in a severely discharged state for any long period of time, it will have been permanently damaged, even you manage to get a charge in it. Sometimes one can just brute-force a charge into them using a "dumb" battery charger. I have a good modern multistage "smart" charger that won't even attempt to charge a car battery that has a low voltage. If I put the battery on the old dumb charger for a good amount of time, I can often then charge it properly with the smart charger. My 24V chair charger also has a limited amount of "smarts" builtin and performs a multistage charge which involves properly conditioning the batteries, then a charge, then a trickle to keep it fully charged until use.

I have been selling and servicing wheelchairs for 33 years and am the owner of Colorado Wheelchair LLC. Your idea is cleaver, but in the end it doesn't solve the main problem. Once these types (Gel or AGM) of batteries drop below 9.25 volts (your batteries had to be at least this low or lower to cause the charger not to recognize them) the cells of the batteries are damaged. The lower the voltage and the longer time the worse the cell damage. So, although they will take a charge they wont hold it very long (maybe 1 mile of usage). So, in the end if you want your wheelchair to hold a reasonable charge you'll still need new batteries. Note: DO NOT BUY WHEELCHAIR BATTERIES ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!! They are usually seconds that have been siting on a shelf for years and crappy brands sold by internet venders that will not refund your money.

@@ThreePhaseHigh It helps to have a multimeter to test voltage. Measure dead voltage, write it on the battery, with meter still on battery, connect external charger, measure new voltage and write it also on battery. Leave charger on for 4 hours, then measure voltage with charger and without charger, write these New voltages on battery. Both New voltages measured should have increased, the goal is to SLOWLY charge to above 11 volts, then connect to the chair charger or regular car battery charger to do the top off charge. When 12 volt batteries go below 11 volts they start to die, the longer this goes on, the lower the battery voltage gets and the more the damage. These batteries function on short discharge cycles and have enough discharge capacity but then are immediately recharge to full capacity once the engine runs to drive the alternator. If these scooters are used and not immediately put back on charge to bring the voltage back up above 11 volts, the battery life will be compromised, cumulatively every time not charged after use! The cosmic law of lead acid batteries!

You seem like a very smart guy, a good handyman… However, to me this is something you don’t want to play around with. Most of these require a battery/2 of them that would fit in a car… You don’t want to play around using a KIDS toy in my opinion. It may work, however, it might also shoot the motor for Your wheelchair, and worst of all it could cause a fire or blow up when you are using it because it is not the correct voltage or battery intended. I’ve seen peoples phone, Vape, and other things blow up because of the batteries used… It’s not worth it buddy. You’re better off getting the two pack of batteries that will run you around $130 or so… On top of that stripping wire is for batteries is not a good idea , unless you are an electrician. It just sounds really dangerous for a wheelchair, especially some people can’t move… So if that thing blows up or catches on fire, you’re really looking at a disaster for these disabled people. I do appreciate your ability to think, and use your brain in a smart way… I just don’t think the average person should be attempting this, especially when the voltage is not matching up.

For the people to try this who do not have a 12V charger. I suggest getting a 12V Battery Maintainer. I got mine at a good price at a Canadian Walmart. Rated at 1.5A. It is a Schumacher SC1355. It comes with ring terminals to be connected to the battery and with clips. I normally keep it on my mini-van as being retired, I only drive it every couple weeks. And when I get home I have to use a fair bit of battery juice on the lift that takes me from drivers seat to wheelchair height or lifts me up again . Then there is the robot arm that puts my wheelchair into the side door or onto the ground also using juice. Then the sliding power side door uses power. Plus the remote key receiver uses current all the time. Cars will run themselves down in about 3-4 weeks if not operated regularly. A battery maintainer will prevent this from becoming an issue. I have mine connected to the battery with the supplied "ring" terminals.

Diabolical. They made a charger that purposely won't charge dead batteries then put see authorized dealer if it doesn't charge. It only has a 2 year warranty and the sticker shock could literally give you a heart attack for a non warranty repair. Manufacturer authorized dealerships only exist to fulfill the obligations offered in the warranty of their products. They don't compete with mechanic shops to repair public vehicles. They've already been way overpaid and charge the most. This is offensive and should be monitored. Elderly and disabled are supposed to be protected by the federal government and laws already exist for that reason with extreme penaltiesfor violation. Many are already financially trapped. The manufacturers are paid way too much for this simple, crappy scooter with your tax dollars through federally funded programs. Then they do these shady deals with the customer on the side. You have families and communities rallying to raise the money and help these people when their suddenly immobilized. The thought of some bucket mouth salesman throwing pitches and numbers at people with cognitive issues is also disturbing. It's a simple and incredibly reliable device unless you go out of your way to make it fail because theres hardly any moving parts unlike a combustion engine. The only possible thing that could fail other than the fuses in any electric vehicle is the battery. The scooter i repaired had fuses inside the box hidden under shrink tubing with no mention of fuses in the manual. How many people have been screwed over the price of one blade fuse? How much federal funding was authorized to purchase an entire scooter for the same reason? These batteries aren't dead but they tell the customer they are. The customer service jackass is trained to say the same and pursues the sale, then upsells. You don't even want to know what companies charge for a walk in tub. How much debt is stacking up throughout the medical industry when they ring that bell for another sale? Inheritance money, christmas , birthdays, travel money to visit loved ones, spent on bankruptcy, whatever things you earned repossessed, being displaced, the do not recesatate document signed in fear resulting in the ultimate sacrifice for the ones you love. I'm willing to bet it's how the medical industry became too expensive for anyone to obtain. It's probably easy to live with yourself with all the best things that money can buy if you don't stop and look at yourself long enough to see how ugly you really are. As for me...I'm the hero. I fixed a ladies scooter for free and prevented a scammer from ripping her off. I suppose these things wouldn't seem wrong to someone that wasn't guided by morals and integrity

How long do you need to leave the 12V charger wires in? Are they just needed to trick the 24V charger or do you leave them in until its completely charged? Thanks.
@tolikgord

it depends on your 24v charger but generally you want to leave them on until the batteries are charged to at least 10v

What does it mean if when I put charger on batteries and I go check on them couple hours later and they feel hot! Also they only last like 30 min then the chair dies? Do I need new batteries or is it charger?

I have a wheel chair battery charger. When I opened up the three prong plug, there is 2 wires but . Why does it have 3 prongs? The black wire goes to 2 prongs. White has 1 prong. My battery has 23 or 24 volts. But it won’t charge. I know charger works, but I don’t what the problem is. I took . Why three prong not two.

The third wire is the ‘inhibit’, enabling the system to prevent the wheelchair from moving when the battery is being charged.

My charger shows it's working but it is not charging the batteries. My charger like what you have for your child's little car has a alligator clips on it. The connectors you put your wires in is different than mine. Would it work if I just put the alligator clips on one battery positive to positive negative to negative? I really hope I don't have to end up buying new batteries. Any ideas?

Frank Reyna Hi if you have a voltmeter you can check the voltage on the batteries if its less than 10V the wheelchair charger will not change it and you have to connect a different 12v supply to the batteries in addition to the charger to trick the charger because most of them got low voltage protection just to make sure nobody trying to connect 6V batteries to 12V charger
