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. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in power chairs.

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.

PROHIBITED! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp- hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

WARNING! Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your power chair.

Charging the Batteries

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair batteries. It is designed to optimize your power chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly and easily.

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the power chair is occupied.

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.

WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the power chair and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.

WARNING! You must recharge your power chair’s batteries with the supplied off-board charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if damage is found.

WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! If the off-board battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.

WARNING! Be aware that the battery charger case may become hot during charging. Avoid skin contact and do not place on surfaces that may be affected by heat.

WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
