 Daily Use

If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the

batteries as soon as you are ﬁnished using your power

chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to

give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you

charge the batteries at least 8 to 14 hours after daily

use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an

additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that

charging is complete.

 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 at least 24 hours.

NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid

deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the

manual supplied with the battery charger for charging

instructions. We recommend charging your batteries for

at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve

battery performance and battery life.

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, sidewalk 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.

 We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48

continuous hours once per month to improve battery

performance and battery life.

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 more information regarding the

batteries used with your power chair.

Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only

AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage

or explosive conditions.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical

technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium

(nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle

batteries are speciﬁcally designed to provide power, drain

down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick

recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as

often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-

cadmium batteries.

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a

battery that best suits your power chair’s speciﬁc demands.

Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Quantum and are promptly

shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries

encounter temperature extremes that may inﬂuence initial

performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and

cold slows the power available and extends the time needed

to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).

It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery

to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More

importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial

drain—then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical

balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance

and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break

in your battery properly.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable

performance and extended battery life. Keep your power

chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries

that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently

charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently

damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and

limited battery life.

NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reﬂection

of the care it receives.

How should I store my power chair and its batteries?

If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend

maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least

once per week.

If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended

period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect

the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm,

dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such as

freezing and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt

to charge a frozen battery. A cold or frozen battery should be

warmed for several days prior to recharging.

What about public transportation?

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in

power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries are

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing

safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is

no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the

carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s

speciﬁc requirements.

What about shipping?

If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair

to your ﬁnal destination, repack your power chair in the original

shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
