used electric wheelchairs

Electric wheelchair is an important part of life for wheelchair users who practically depend on it for mobility and self independence. Therefore, whenever problems occur with the electric wheelchairs, users are caught in a difficult position because they have to rely on their family members to bring the electric wheelchairs for repairing. Electric wheelchair repair service can be quite costly depending on the level of damage of the wheelchair. You can either bring your electric wheelchair to the dealer or call them for on-site support at your home. The latter will cost more and time consuming as the technicians may not have the necessary electric wheelchair parts to replace broken ones. They have to return on a second visit to fully restore your electric wheelchairs to operating state. All these unnecessary costs can be saved if you learn how to Self Repair Electric Wheelchair.

First of all, you must check whether the battery is new or old. Old batteries are identified by the oil markings at the connection point between the battery and the crocodile cable. What is most important is that the battery should not be leaking due to over use and bad maintenance. A leaking battery poses health risk to the wheelchair users and remember not to touch the liquid from the battery as they are acidic. In worst cases, bad management of the wheelchair battery can even lead to a fire hazard. Our used electric wheelchair online store ensures that all the wheelchairs we sell are replaced with brand new batteries and welcome all buyers to check themselves.

Secondly, you can remove the top cover circuit system to look at the circuitry inside and check for any loose connections or foreign items that should not be there. You should also take the opportunity to arrange the wires and ensure there is no overlapping especially with the integrated circuit board. Sometimes, the electric wheelchair may malfunction due to stray metallic materials interfering with the system.

Lastly, the joystick of the electric wheelchair may not be responding to your controls due to mechanical problems. As joystick is the main interface between the user and the electric wheelchair, we advise you to always keep a spare one at home so you can replace the faulty one immediately. You can buy a used electric wheelchair joystick as a spare as it is much cheaper and cost efficient. Meanwhile, you can send the damaged joystick for proper repair while still using the electric wheelchair with the spare joystick.
