Lallman If you have a digital voltmeter set it to 200 volts dc and plug the leads into the two outter holes on the charger port located under the front od the joystick. with the charger unplugged you should be reading the battery voltage(if you haven't been chargind the batteries the voltage reading wil be low. Now with the leads still plugged in plug in your on-board charger into the outlet your reading should increase to between 26-30 volts on the meter. If you get no change in the reading then your charger is not working. Check the cable from the charger to the controller to insure its still plugged in If all the connections look ok the you nedd to replace the charger. I would look for a good off-board charger look on e-bay or ask around the neighborhood for anyone who might have an extra charger. Any good 3-4 amp charger will work to keep your batteries going. Lastly check with your local provider to have them order one for you about $120. Hope this helps

I changed the batteries in the jet 3 ultra. Chair will work but batteries will not charge

Wall outlet bad? Charger not turned on/plugged in right? Something disconnected? Bad battery connection? Blown fuse in chair or charger? Bad battery or batteries?

Jet 3 will not turn on but when you plug charger cord in it will light up the entire length of the battery indicator when you push the switch. Chair will still not move. Controller is a PG Drives Pilot...

the batteries are not charged and need to be replaced. The reason you have lights is because the charger is supplying power to the chair and the chair will not move when the charger is plugged in because of the inhibit function. Replace the batteries and make sure you charge before use Hope this helps

Have a jet 3 power chair will not take a charge, can't tell that iy is charging

Cathey when you plug in the charger look at the rear of the chair at the meter if the chair is charging then the meter will indicate some amperage reading when it is fully charged the meter will read zero. Also turn on the chair and if the lights are scrolling or flashing it shows that the charger is plugged in. Now if after the meter reads zero (if it ever does) the lights on the joystick should all be lit indicating a full charge. If you aren't getting all the lights and the meter indicated the charger was working then you need to replace the batteries Hope this helps

I HAVE A JET 3 ULTRA CHAIR, WE LOSS THE 24V PRIDE JET 3 Ultra Power Chair Smart Battery Charger, CAN WE USE A COMPUTER CABLE INSTEAD IF NOT WHAT CAN WE DO.

You can use the AC charger cord from a computer as a replacement for the AC cord of the charger. If the AC cord plugs into the wall and plugs into the charger or charger receptacle on the back of the power chair, you can use it.
If I remember correctly, This chair has a 4 Amp on-board charger which has an AC receptacle on the back of the chair to plug in an AC cord. The off-board chargers take a universal AC cord which will work with a universal computer AC cord. If the AC cord plugs in, use it.

Need a battery charger for jet model 2904jt-24 3stage

Check around the neighborhood for others who have chairs. Any 4 amp charger for a wheel chair will work for you. You can try E-bay also. Your provider will wanna charge you a good bit for a new charger so check in the neighborhood first to borrow one until you can get one Hope this helps

Hoveround technique rwd motorized chair charge

Normally the power chairs will not operate when connected to the charger. If you mean the controller comes on when connected to the charger but it wont come on when the charger is disconnected, I would test the batteries first, then the connections and fuses. Did a technician inspect your power chair to determine a controller was needed, or was that just a guess by the representative over the phone? If your insurance will not cover the repairs, I would recommend spending $50 for a technician from Hoveround to come out and inspect the chair to determine what is needed to fix it so you know for SURE. It may be something simple and inexpensive.
Good luck!

Pride Jet 2 power chair with with 3 red and 3 yellow lights flashing. Batteries checked ok under load, all connections have been checked. I moved the chair and it would not move again. Just that quick.

Hi. The fault code you have is called the "Inhibit active".
It can be caused by a blown charger fuse, which causes the charger inhibit to activate.
Also if the 3-pin charger inhibit connector is not plugged in properly, or the connector is faulty, then the charger inhibit feature will activate.
Hope this helps. Neil.
