Delta-Q Technologies has officially announced the discontinuation of its popular QuiQ series battery chargers and associated accessories, marking the end of a 25-year old era. These chargers have been a staple in industries like golf and material handling and are often seen charging vehicles like aerial lifts, scrubber-sweepers, and golf cars. Their widespread adoption has made them a reliable and essential charging solution. The discontinuation of QuiQ chargers will leave many businesses with the difficult challenge of finding suitable replacements for their 24 and 48-volt battery systems. Those businesses will have to face the decision of upgrading to a new charger or continue using their QuiQ chargers until the units eventually fail.
