Chair was working just fine and now it won't move .....says battery is dead but was charged fully less than 48 hrs ago and has hardly been used in that time!

These chairs use Lead Acid Gel Cells and they do go bad after a while It is not unusual for them to be fully charged and loose the charge in just a few hours as the internal resistance of the batteries are compromised by warped plates due to heat generated by the charger. It also could mean that the connections have become corroded and just need to be cleaned. Check that first.
