Has your chair been setting for a long time not being used, if so you'll have to retrain the batterys.  A battery needs to be fully dead then recharged, after a few times of use your batterys should be fine.  Silas ----- Original Message ----- From: KK To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 6:43 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] Took myself on an outing yesterday My chair is a 1 year old Quantum 600 rehab with power recline & manual foot rest.  I charged it for 10 hours.  The battery's  the original. All this to say - I went to the grocery store, 2 blocks away, then over to the park.  Came back the long way.  A total of 2 miles.  I used ALL the green lights on the charger bar.  I have never been able to go far with this new chair.  The book says I should get 20 miles off a charge.  Will new batteries get me better mileage?  I am starting to feel good enough to be outside.
