D. If the voltage is dropping too quickly, perform a load test on the batteries using a load tester. If you do not
have access to a load tester, you can load test by performing the follow steps.
Place the meter leads into the outside pins of the battery charger port as shown in figure 2. Sit in the power
chair and drive it.
After an initial drop, the voltage should hold steady at approximately 24VDC or higher when driving with a
load on the chair.
If the voltage continues to drop while driving, replace BOTH batteries.

Control System Status indication
The battery gauge and maximum speed / profile indicator show the status of the control system.
Battery Gauge is Steady
This indicates that all is well.
Battery Gauge Flashes Slowly
The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the battery as soon as possible.
Battery Gauge Steps Up
The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the wheelchair until the charger is
disconnected and you have switched the control system off and on again.
Battery Gauge Flashes Rapidly (even with the joystick released)
The control system safety circuits have operated and the control system has been prevented from moving the
wheelchair. This indicates a system trip, i.e. the VR2 has detected a problem somewhere in the wheelchair’s
electrical system.
Please follow this procedure:
• Switch off the control system.
• Make sure that all connectors on the wheelchair and the control system are mated securely.
• Check the condition of the battery.
• If you can’t find the problem, refer to the Diagnostic “Flash Codes” on page 14.
• Switch on the control system again and try to drive the wheelchair. If the safety circuits operate again,
switch off and do not try to use the wheelchair.
