BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Quantum 610 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge.
Page 32
3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential. 4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period. www.quantumrehab.com Quantum 610...
