Battery Break-in To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency: 1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level. 2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries. 3. Give the batteries another full charge of at least 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. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger doesn’t work as hard to complete the charging cycle. When the battery is fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery. Can I use a different battery charger? You should use the charger supplied with the power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (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 Provider for assistance. XLR Figure 24. Battery Charging Quantum 6000Z Series VI. BATTERIES AN D CHARGIN G VI. BATTERIES AN D CHARGIN G How often must I charge the batteries? Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. • Daily Use If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. Pride recommends that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete. • Infrequent Use If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for at least 24 hours. NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manualsupplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. Pride recommends charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life. How can I get maximum range or distance per charge? Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge: • Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip. • Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible. • Limit baggage weight to essential items. • Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving. • Pride recommends charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life. What type of batteries should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the specifications table for more information regarding the batteries used with your power chair. WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cellbatteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions. Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries. We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. 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 s...
