  • Page 27: Batteries And Charging

    Charging the Batteries The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Quantum 1650 batteries. The battery charger is designed to optimise your power chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly and easily. Quantum 1650 power chairs use an off-board charger to charge the batteries.
  • Page 28 Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride 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). www.quantumrehab.com Quantum 1650...
