    Hey @Globster, are the batteries not charging at all? Has the fuse been checked in the plug of the charger?

    @Globster, hello question, do you charge your scooter batteries at the end of each days use, and batteries don’t like the cold will not last as long, plus how old are the batteries, most scooter batteries only last 2 to 4 years depending on type AGM or GEL type and usage and how well they are maintained ( charged after each days use ).

    If the chair moves then there is a charge in the batteries. Perhaps the lights are broken?

    @Globster as long as the wheelchair is moving there should be no problem?

    @Globster, it sounds very much like the led charged light has failed.

    @Globster, it looks as if a service call is required to fix or find the actual fought with your scooter/ wheelchair.
