    Hello Sir, i have a used permobile c350 that i bought recently, the batteries were empty so i tried to charge them directly with a victron charger, one them was charged but the second one as i started to charge it, about 5 min later it started to leak from one the six nuts (light leak) My question: is there any way to repair that nut or to close it with glue maybe if there's a crack on it, or can I continue to charge it even if it is leaking??? Is there a danger ? Thank you so much for your reply and your time. Have a nice day.

      that battery is damaged and ya shouldn't try to charge it anymore.. when they short internally, pressure will build up and those vents are there to keep the battery from exploding! both batteries will need to be replaced.

      That chair would use group 34 batteries.. MK brand is the best - but you’ll want to avoid generic automotive style flooded cell batteries.. deep cycle AGM is what’s required.. if you want to go inexpensive- the minimum ones I’d use are about $160 each.. they’re not gonna have the same service life as MK batteries.. but will “work” Mighty Max Battery ML-Group34-12 Volt 60 AH, Internal Thread (INT) Terminal, Rechargeable SLA AGM Battery a.co/d/0ekKwenS

      You’ll want to ease those batteries into life- don’t run them low at all for the first week or so. Just use it a little bit for short distances, plug in overnight, then repeat for about the first week, then you’re good to go! Those batteries are fairly small - so not as critical to break them in properly- but certainly don’t run them low for the first week of charging cycles!

      @TotallyNormal - Thanks a lot for your valuable information. I have one more question. The right-side caster wheels on my F3 wheelchair start wobbling a lot when I go to high speeds. So, I had my wheelchair repaired by a private wheelchair servicer. They replaced the bearings, and it worked fine for two months. Now, it has started wobbling again. My dad tried to tighten them himself, but after two or three days, it starts wobbling again. I am frustrated about this and can't keep sending it for service, as it is expensive for me. Can you help me find a permanent solution to fix this issue?

      so q-logic 3 is still unknown.. in theory things can plug in and work BUT i dont have enough parts yet to play around with swapping things.. i'd assume you'll need a programmer to get things working.. im not sure if the 3e joystick has the micro SD card inside (if it's still how that one works..) thats how the chair's configuration is stored - i dont recommend "trying it to see what happens" as those chairs are notorious for 'locking up' and not working if anything changes..

    Hey how are you? Really enjoyed your trip to soccer with your friends, had fun but sorry the van broke down twice, makes for a long trip. I wanted to tell you I purchased a late he thinks Nov 2023 Permobil m300 with every option available, had 7.5 miles total. Sadly she passed in Jan 2024, I am 5'9 she was 5'4 so been doing some adjustments, seat, arms etc done except to lengthen the arms, my wrist hits the end of the hand hold on the left, joy stick on the right. but I can't find a video on adjusting them forward and more importantly the seat back is way too low for my long body, my head can't lean back at all and the head rest when going to stand comes down and pushes hard on neck and shoulders so can't deal with that, it's very painful. It sits high to begin with so getting out of it I use the stand option to get my feet almost to the floor. So we can't find anything on getting that seat back adjusted to much higher, it's probably about 18" or 19" Took the seat from about 17 "to a 19," much more comfortable. The cup that slides under the arm came with it, i got everything they got brand new, 2 bags all manuals tools plus her ROHO which feels too tight on the air cause it feels stiff. Do I need to buy a new back plate to get it high enough for my head? Her extra back cushion also too low and doesn't form to me, to get started after perusing wheel chair cushions I opted to go with an ortho pet bed 20x30 5"thick to give me the height to rest my head and neck. Bought a good lumbar pillow but foam blocks to stick in and form the cushion out is full so I can work on that. I've been looking for the original higher back cushion also too short. I'm definitely not complaining just working through the adjustments to fit me for best comfort. My husband has been adjusting the best he can, I found after 2019 the m300 chair changed in it's building and made them for easier to adjust. Would really appreciate a video on back of seat adjustments, even called Mar's mobility cause they also do a lot of video's on adjustments but none on the back of the seat so far. Can you help? Hope all is well for you and friends, it's good to haver a network, that I do not have. Thank you if you can help the 80 year old Sr's get the chair right, I'm so blessed to haver it and I know that. He only charged me $1000 cash and we met halfway to get it to me. Gov had a chair for me about 7 years ago but it had problems and had no idea who to contact, my guy left right after my chair was delivered. Where we live doesn't have a wheel chair store all over like in Fl, so I've been on my own. After watching your video's i set my mind on permobil. m300 it even has the light system with turn signals, a surprise.

      assuming the chair has stock seating - all of that is adjustable.. i don't have a video that covers ALL of it at once.. but here's a link to a service manual shat should cover all of the adjustments! - its a different model of chair, but the seating is the same, and this manual has more detail than the others.. brokenwheelchairs.com/resources/Permobil_PDF/Permobil_F5_Service_Manual.pdf the seating adjustments start on page 167 - but check out the table of contents - should have everything ya need! BTW my website has a lot of info for different chairs etc as well :^) also - adjusting the WIDTH of the arm rests can be different depending on how old the chair is - this video covers that part - ruclips.net/video/2qiBqLOxrio/видео.html

    Here I thought my pricey charger was a better option than the crappy one they sent with the chair. Maybe I should just use the one they sent. I've never had a problem except my last set of batteries only lasted 9 monyhs. Jazzy Air 2 ftr.

    Not surprised at the battery bulging. 30+V is pushing them to their limits and the primary cause of issues I believe. I would charge them at 28.8V at 68F and decrease the voltage by 0.03V for each degree above 68F (ballpark the voltage decrease).

    Dan I need some advice. My Quantum Edge is too big to use in parts of my home so I daily use my Itty bitty Pride Go chair that I bought used several years ago. I need new batteries in the Go chair and need them before I open up the battery box. Nowhere can I find what batteries the Go chair uses. Will you please use your resources to help me find the battery type? I think it's the 22NF nut and bolt type but want to be sure before ordering.

    I might be getting the Quantum R-Trak which I believe is their latest rear wheel drive chair (previous one was the Rival over 10 years ago). Just wondering if you have heard good things about their R-Trak? One of the shop reps says it's a great chair but I'm not sure. Love your content by the way.

    • @TotallyNormal-
      @TotallyNormal- 8 дней назад

      i hope it will be a decent chair! the old rivals were solid back in the day! the R-Trak seems to be a "re-tuning" of the 4front2 (flipped around backwards) BUT theres a lot more that goes into it than simply reversing everything.. from what people have been telling me, and a friend thats got a 4front2, it seems like they solved most of the issues! SO one could assume the same platform in a RWD configuration should be the same...? lol just remember Q-logic 3 is LOCKED DOWN and you wont be able to get any programmers to change settings on your own, and only 'authorized' shops will have the tools available to them to make programming changes. im still not a fan of a micro-SD card based control systems- i get a lot of messages from people having software related issues that take their QL-3 chairs out of service.. im hesitant to make any judgements about a quantum 'being reliable' or not.. buuut... ??? IDK lol OBV not EVERY chair is gonna be terrible.. but from MY point of view (only hearing from people with problems) i personally wouldn't get another quantum unless i had a solid backup chair on hand :^) BTW a friend up in canada is about to get an R-Trak and is REALLY good at using power chairs to their limits! so in about 4-5 months we'll all have our answer! hah

      @@TotallyNormal- Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I did have a little test demo in it just indoors and I liked the feel of it and aesthetically, it's a very nice looking power chair. I've hardly taken it for a proper spin though, but I was impressed with it in the short period I saw it and used it. I previously had a Quantum R4000 in the past and I hated it so I'm hoping I won't be making a mistake if I go with Quantum again. At the moment this is the only newer RWD chair I've tested though while deciding on a new chair. I'd really like to try the Magic Frontier V4 too as I've heard great things from a friend who uses one. Generally, I like to stick to RWD power chairs as I require complex seating. My legs don't bend so I sit a bit more forward than most people do in a chair.

      @TotallyNormal- 8 дней назад

      the magic mobility chairs are great! i did notice though, that both V4 versions (FWD/RWD) in the USA have seemed to disappear from the sunrise website.. not sure what's up with that! Amylior also makes a 'RWD hybrid' chair.. it behaves a bit more like a MWD though, but with the RWD benefits! also runs R-Net which is programmable!

    • @TotallyNormal-
      @TotallyNormal- 10 дней назад

      i'd start with checking all the connections.. esp if ya were out in bumpy areas - the older TDX setups use these strange flat stacking multi pin connectors that tend to some loose or need re-seating for a good connection. typically the software doesn't suddenly freak out unless some kinda external event happens.. also to further complicate things, most of the setups are different, and depend on how they were setup - other than basic troubleshooting of connections etc, the only real way to figure things out, is to take it back to whoever set it up. also if something comes loose, and then the chair is powered up, the programming can sometimes 'revert' back to its previous configuration i kinda explore one of the older TDX chairs in this video, but unfortunately i dont have any specific troubleshooting advice other than the basics :^/ - ruclips.net/video/9P1yoEOWutg/видео.html

    I know you generally focus on Permobile but I would like to know if you dabble in invacare because I have a TDX SP that has a switch box cabling short what is part of control box as it's hardwired and not a separate standalone cable the wire has a short but unclear how to fix. eBay has some parts for roughly 40 to 60 dollars however dealer numotion wants to charge $3,000 for suggested MSRP. There should be something against charging that much for a single part especially just for a bad wire. But it shuts off all power so I have to do something. Was out running it and thankfully I had somebody with me because when it went bad there was no notice chair completely shut off would not power back on but noticed wiggling the wires what causes you intermittently fash to life. Oddly enough my permobile has the same issue and it's due to I think the chargers overheating the remote socket getting all the way back to the 2.5M 89.5 R-net cable causing a short or break. Because the charger socket jacket getting hot damaging remote in both chairs possible top left pin but then after socket damage doesn't matter what charger you plug up to it they too will overheat not sure why. It's the new style chargers that you spoke about in another video but the problem is supposedly was supposed to be fixed.
