AMMETER
Your Jazzy 1104 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt batteries. These batteries are sealed, maintenance free,
deep-cycle batteries. 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.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Jazzy 1104 batteries. See figure 26. The
battery charger is designed to optimize your Jazzy 1104s performance by charging the batteries safely,
quickly, and easily. The charging system consists of the charger, the charger fuse, and the ammeter. See
figures 26 and 27. The onboard charger is located underneath the electronics tray. The ammeter is located
on the utility tray for easy viewing. The charger has an in-line fuse that protects the system. The ammeter
indicates the rate of charge necessary to fully recharge the batteries. It is also a good indication of whether
or not the charger is working. The ammeter and the charger are only functional when the charger power
cord is plugged into a wall outlet. The Jazzy will not operate when the charger is plugged into the wall
outlet.
WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly
into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
BATTERIES
WARNING
!
You must recharge your Jazzys batteries with the supplied onboard or off-
board charging system. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a
frozen battery. This damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to
charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
CAUTION! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected to the
off-board charger/programming socket. See your authorized Pride provider for
more information.
