    BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Quantum 600E 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 30 (e.g., an automotive battery charger). NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your Quantum Rehab Specialist for assistance. How often must I charge the batteries? Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries.
  • Page 31 It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly. NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives. Quantum 600E www.quantumrehab.com...
