I woke up to find my power wheelchair wasn't charged. That meant no grocery shopping, which is a thing I do. Just about anything else is out of the question too. If it ran down completely, the wheelchair would be a 400-pound lump of lead on wheels. Anyway, it turned out to be the same problem as last time. Somebody had jammed the charger in at the wrong orientation, and bent one of the copper connectors all out of whack. My spouse very very carefully straightened it, and then everything worked just fine.
The three connectors consist of four curved copper plates, arranged in a circle. The bottom plate of the lefthand circle has been shoved up against the top plate. It's not enough to keep the chair alive.
P.S. So far so good since then!
