The Quantum 6000 has two batteries located within the power base assembly. To access them for replacement, you would need to refer to the manual for the specific steps, but typically this involves removing parts of the power base assembly to access the battery compartment. Use caution to ensure proper connections and follow safety guidelines provided in the manual.
