Can I use a different battery charger?
You should use the charger supplied with your power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We
do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).
NOTE: The charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this
happens, call your Quantum Rehab Specialist for assistance.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a
daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
!
Daily Use
If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using it for the day. Your
power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries
8 to 14 hours after daily use.
!
Infrequent Use
If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week
for 12 to 14 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge the
batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills or curves. More often
you are presented with hills, footpath cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves and wind. All of these factors
will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range
per charge:
!
Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.
!
Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
!
Limit baggage weight to essential items.
!
Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type of batteries should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle
batteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the specifications table for battery information when reordering deep-
cycle batteries from your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to
reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
