1. The lights on my powerchair controller are flashing quickly. Should I return the unit for repair?

Not necessarily! All of our powerchair controllers are fitted with a 10 segment TruCharge © display. This display gives an accurate reading of the amount of battery charge available to the controller. In addition to its use as a 'fuel gauge', the bargraph can also offer low-level diagnostic assistance.

If a controller detects a fault in a powerchair system, it will stop the chair & then flash a series of segments on the bargraph. It is important to realise that even though the controller is signalling a fault, it may not be the controller itself that is defective. This is because the controller is able to detect problems in other electrical components, (motors, batteries, solenoid brakes etc.) or, more importantly, the wiring to them. Counting the number of bars that are flashing, will give you a guide to whereabouts in the system, the fault is likely to lie.
