yes we reduced the preload - to lengthen the spring loosen it - the red knob we turned also just one turn inward i believe - the spring was turned outward about 6 turns i think they were half turns so about 3 full turns on the spring

The urine bag is a serious problem now. It's not good to go in streets with a heavy bag plenty of ... Is there any kind of 'electric' urine bags whose valve can be opened/closed by a button?

Its one reason I swap them out after a couple years regardless. But dont let it worry you! Just enjoy the freedom.
Just be pleased you can get out and about. Those users stuck with lead bricks (which is likely every wheelchair user on the planet bar a few here, and maybe 1 or 2 we dont know about), dont have a choice to do what you all can. And so 99.9% of all chair users suffer range anxiety on every trip out on a long day even if they dont actually think about it directly. They have an inbuilt "capability" expectation and subconciously dont exceed it. They never attempt to go too far. Its limiting them subcontiously but most dont realise it.
Try going back to lead on a nice warm spring day and actually go somewhere, or go to an airshow for the day on grass while moving about a lot, then you soon do! Battery gauge gets low, anxiety starts!

Burgerman wrote:Correct. Use the 105Ah preset, or the addon preset, or the lead+ addon preset... Any. Run it from which ever chair has a good charge left in it.
No power supply needed just a 2lb charger.

You can give her 20 of your Ah, in 30 mins. Enough for about 10 miles? Or so.

You make a lead with big crocodile clips on one end and you can charge from any car like a taxi or police car in emergency too.
Burgerman wrote:No it will be fine. But make a new preset anyway, with it set to battery, and max amps, and charge amps set to 40. And call it Car Supply pb/lithium or something. So you can do it faster. As long as your cables are good.
i can copy the Combined preset i use for charging both lead and lithium together ? rename it and raise the charge amps on it ?
Ok wait - if i had to charge this way - would it be better to charge it as ONE - with lead - pack all connected -

Yes... But also set supply, to battery as its less likely to error when the voltage moves about... Dont ask. Set battery amps to max. 24v. And set to either lifepo4 or Optima. You may or may not have LiFePO4 but I do! Cant remember!Ok wait - if i had to charge this way - would it be better to charge it as ONE - with lead - pack all connected -
Yes... And you can count Ah on the screen as you transfer power. At 40A you will get 10Ah every 15 mins. So buy an ice creme.
10Ah will take you a good long way. But will cost you about 11! Charging is about 90% efficient.
What do you mean set it to Lifepo4 or Optima - are those options on the PL 8 settings PSU Section ?
