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

WARNING!
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.
