IX. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How should I store my Jet 2 and its batteries?
If you do not use your Jet 2 regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least
once per week.
If you do not plan on using your Jet 2 for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect
the battery harnesses and store the Jet 2 in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such as freezing
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 your Jet 2 for an extended period of time, you may wish to block the unit up with
several boards under the frame. This will keep the tires off the ground and prevent the possibility of flat
spots developing on the tires.
What about public transportation?
Sealed lead-acid and gel cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles.
These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved. They are safe for transportation on aircraft,
buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carriers ticket counter
in advance to determine the carriers specific requirements.
What about shipping?
If you wish to use a freight company to ship your Jet 2 to your final destination, repack your Jet 2 in the original
shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
