VLOG 693: battery prep on the Frontier V6!
pulling hair out after attempting a battery swap in a 2018 F3. The new batteries are Group 24, 8.3" in height, about .4" taller than the specs I see for the Permobil Group 24s. The batteries I took out were Group 34. The battery tray slides part way in (snug fit) but there are 4 bolt heads in the chassis bottom plate and the tray won't clear them. I've been trying to tell by looking at videos if other chairs have these bolt heads sticking up through the chassis bottom plate into the tray space. My question is, should the battery tray be sliding on a flat surfaxe or is it normal for there to be protruding bolt heads that the tray has to go on top of. It might be handy if Permobil spec'd ,aximum allowable battery dimensions, there seems to be a lot of variation among Group 24 batteries.
sounds like your chair has an EZ lock bolted to the bottom of it.. thats the only reason bolts would be coming up thru the bottom of the chair. in that case, GRP 34's might be the only thing that will fit if you need the EZ lock for vehicle use
Do you program controllers for Speed
How can I make my Jazzy power chair faster
@TotallyNormal- I have the joystick that has the extra 2 buttons, I do your process but I can't get into obp mode. How to enable it?
on board programming has to be enabled with a programmer before it can be used with the boot-up key combo
@@TotallyNormal- dang it. My brand new F5 corpus VS came without even memory modes. Not even 1 😡. My chair is messed up ATM. I tilt and recline fine but when I try to tilt the chair back to neutral it doesn't go entirely straight, it stays a bit tilted back with the leg rest a bit up so I end up being kind of sucked inside my cushion I have a ride design cushion so I'm ending sunked in the back hole. 😡
dang.. i'd talk to the DME or company that delivered it if ya haven't already.. if the chair is brand new, they should get things sorted out pretty quick hopefully!
That is such an undersized brake mechanism for a power wheelchair of this class. Egad!!!
Operating that bus, is like operating a spaceship 🛸
I am very glad you finally found an apartment. Enjoy your last days in your bus.
Congratulations on your new place always enjoy watching
All my love dude. Please eat better. We need that nifty brain of yours for the long haul. Your expertise is life changing.
Once you get into an apartment most of this won't be needed which is a plus.
It is called SHIT happens, and making it work!! good vid...see ya Thursday.
You are an inspiration to so many. Congrats on getting into an apartment. I am looking forward to watching/hearing about your adventure and getting settled into your new home. 🎉
Hello, I like your videos. Currently I have 1 problem with my chair, it doesn't turn on, the joystick is Joystick Modules - CJSM2, could you help me fix it?
I didn't even realize that it was wednesday...
i TRY and upload early in the week.. but there isnt really a "schedule" for when things get posted hah
@TotallyNormal- if you wouldn't have said "live stream tomorrow" I would probably still have no clue, maybe even missed the stream, I'm thankful that you do remind us that we are close to thursday.
So cool and mostly automated this is a dream home away from home.
i fully intended to rip the WiFi card out of that AC unit and install a different one that could be pulled into home assistant.. but im a lazy, lazy man! so i just use its garbage app instead lol
@@TotallyNormal- yes, you could also just tap into the buttons with transistors or the like and add your flavor of wireless microcontroller. I'm surprized you don't have voice integration with alexa or that home assistant voice that is built into home assistant (or is that Esp home?) Anyway yes I am one to talk, i have all the gadgets but spoons are sparse and when I do have them, I spend them on being lazy. This heat is also not a great motivator.
Even watching that was exhausting, so much work, just to exist, reminds me of when I was homeless, many years of the 'homeless shuffle' finding safe spaces, places to eat, shower, charge my devices, finding places to eat, etc, etc.. I'm so glad you are moving soon, the stress levels you've been living with, have made your health worse, in several ways, and with increasing heatwave in that area of USA, it's only going to get worse.. Hugs from Canada! 🏳️🌈🇨🇦🏳️🌈
FIRSTFIRSTFIRSTFIRST FIIIIRRRRSSSSTTT
awesome video Dan glad to hear about the apartment. Good luck with everything. Keep up the great work love your videos.
I can get it in India🤔
I have found strength in India🤔
I see good and rough in this design. Q-Logic 2 or 3 OK, though I like R-Net 120 better. A few more exposed wires than I like, and the controller wiring is janky. I like Permobil build better and their engineering and support.
i do actually like the tru-balance 3 seating system! but yea everything has its positives and negatives.. but not being able to program your own chair (QL-3) is kinda a dealbreaker :^/
I needed to lock the Q-logic 3 Quantum joystick on my chair at church this morning but couldn't remember how. I can't find the info online. Would you mind taking a couple of minutes to look it up for me. Thanks!
it'll be in your owners manual, or ive got operations guides on my website brokenwheelchairs.com/page-2/page-9/
Strawberry lemonade grease 😂
Can you help me please
My permobil f5 corpus 2015 control modüle is 1704 modüle error . I Live in turkey and my country whellchair repairman very bad.my control module have to change and my dad buy to internet PERMOBIL F3, M300 PG DRIVES RNET 120A CONTROL MODULE WHEELCHAIR D50946.16 Is this module suitable for my chair?
that error relates to an internal relay fault - if you're going to replace the main control module, it needs to be from the SAME model, and SAME year range of permobil chair for the best chance of it working without needing re-configuration. sometimes they plug in and work, other times a programmer is needed to configure things.
@@TotallyNormal- thank you very much
The wheels are small, they cause problems, they get stuck in small potholes and they do not move on grass in the garden. If they are a little big, the wheels are a problem. It would be great..

Great stuff Dan I wish that I could get back to hanging out on the live stream but unfortunately I have a crummy family that is forcing me out of my own house
Thanks!

What dose the scooter look like all put together
Thats not true I'm hitting the same button its not working
Glad you found a place to live, besides the bus! ENJOY
Amazon has the 6" louver cover...
Glad to hear you're having a heatwave over there Dan, we in the UK 🇬🇧 are having a rainwave and some of the days it's rather cold 🥶 Thanks for another excellent video Dan 👍
Thank you for the fun video. Always great to see home assistant stuff, wires, and goodies from china. Also have lots of stuff like this, including the knockoff wago connectors. I keep saving the connectors for temporary jobs but when I'm using them I tell myself that if I would just hard wire it and not be lazy, then I can save this connector, but then I never actually use the connectors! It makes me laugh even writing this.
Honk! If Parts fall off.
Have a friend that has a M3 and would like to help her out can you supply light types and model numbers, also for the step down ? Thanks
Hey! I'd like to attach whatever I want to the seat rail of my Edge 3 Stretto. (For example, a goose neck MagSafe phone mount..) I would want things to be firmly mounted and not able to slide back and forth. I'm sure it's just a matter of hardware, but I don't want to trial and error a million things. Has anyone dealt with this? I don't like going to my ATP with this sort of thing.
Hi Dan, I really like this video! I was wondering if you have tilt.and recline on your power soccer chair.
since im not sitting in my soccer chair for more than an hour or 2 at a time, its just got static seating :^)
@@TotallyNormal- Thanks , okay,that makes sense,especially because these features make the chair more expensive. What do you think is the best way for me to figure out whether the standard, short, or narrow dimension is best for me?
i'd go by your daily chair measurements - soccer chairs are ordered to spec just like other chairs
@@TotallyNormal- Okay, thanks for your advice .
Mines keep blinking green What do I do???
Is USB for a USB flash drive/USB hard drive?...
cant connect any USB devices to these unfortunately.. they just use a cable to connect to computer, OR via bluetooth (the rubber boot has a card edge connector underneath for other uses)
@@TotallyNormal- used to live in Oklahoma and used watercoolers there...but in Florida they say all u get is mold...but the sun drives them so wonder if a metal 4" tube was run through the stream in a heat exchanger situation where all the moisture stayed with the water cooler with the bus air recirculating...if it would solve your btu issue...
Well put, "choose to continue stay alive," and it's not global warming! Remember the days when El Ninio and the flu explained almost everything? I have a '24 F5 now with everything but birth control and love it. Creeping up on two hundred miles and roam confidently w my Crippled Concepts fixed joystick knob - who hasn't experienced THAT coming off at six mph?! Lol Hope and pray you get relief! 😅
To get this new UI on the controller menu is it just to update or do u need a new controller or this powerplatform system?? Is it enough to download the app
unfortunately, its not just an update.. its a completely different control system - it's still R-net based, but they were able to cut the number of modules on the new chairs in half!
This is super helpful thank you!
