Quantum Jazzy 1650 Series
V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
The Quantum Jazzy 1650 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.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Do not use batteries that exceed the recommended type and amp-hour capacity. Do
not use batteries with different amp-hour capacities. Refer to the specifications table in this
manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
Charging the Batteries
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair’s batteries. The battery charger 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.
WARNING! You must recharge your power chair’s batteries with the supplied charger. Do not use
an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with
the battery charger before charging the batteries.

your authorized provider/specialist if damage is found.
