[Blind-rollers] broken down power chair

[Maureen Pranghofer]

Hi
    One difference between the older batteries and the newer ones is that 
the new ones have to be charged every night no matter how much you use the 
chair otherwise they won't stay working long.

Hi, all,
Sub says it all.
I know it's been a while since I last wrote, but felt I didn't have a lot to 
contribute to the group.
Well... My power chair broke down on me while I was out and about yesterday.
I knew for a fact I had the batteries fully charged and they were good.
The mechanic had to come to the location I was broken down out and quickly 
spoted the problem.
I ended up having a falty motor wire that was coming apart.
He put some tape on it for the time being until I was able to get home.
So tomorrow, the mechanic will be picking up my power wheelchair to take to 
the shop for immediately repair and hopefully, they will have a loaner one 
for me to use.
I'll miss my quantum 610 for a while as I really enjoy using it for stayin 
independent.
Still, I'm thankful it will be getting fixed and eventually, I'll have it 
back soon.
One thing I do hope is that my gel batteries don't get removed as they are 
way better than the ones that end up being put into the chair as battery 
replacements.
I hope I don't sound like a whiner, just really needed to bent so the 
frustration would leave me.
I ended up taking a good nap earlier this evening, but hope I can get back 
to sleep so I will be ready for tomorrow.
I will need some aditional instructions with the loaner chair so I know what 
to do and where things are.
Bibi and MAR son Odie
