IX. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
A fully charged deep-cycle battery provides reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Jazzys
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable Jazzy operation and limited battery
life.
How should I store my Jazzy 1113 and batteries?
If you do not use your Jazzy 1113 regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at
least once a week.
If you do not plan on using your Jazzy 1113 for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the Jazzy in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes
such as freezing conditions and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery. A cold or
frozen battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.
Note: If you are storing a Jazzy 1113 for an extended period of time, you may wish to block the unit up off
the ground with several boards under the frame. This keeps the tires off the ground and prevents the
possibility of flat spots developing.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your Jazzy, you must contact in advance the transportation
provider to determine their specific requirements. See II. Safety for more details.
Sealed Lead Acid and Gel Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and in other mobility vehicles.
Generally, Sealed Lead Acid batteries are safe for all forms of transportation such as aircraft, buses, and trains.
We suggest that you contact your transportation provider to determine specific requirements of transportation and
packaging.
What about shipping?
If you wish to use a freight company to ship the Jazzy 1113 to your final destination, repack the Jazzy 1113 in the
original shipping container and ship its batteries in separate boxes.
