BATTERIES
Your Jet 1 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance-free.
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 with them. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and they are
unsafe for use in power chairs.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
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.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Jet 1s batteries. See figure 24. The battery charger
is designed to optimize your Jet 1s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The charging
system consists of the battery charger, the charger fuse, and the ammeter. See figures 24 and 25. The onboard
charger is located underneath the utility tray. The ammeter is located on the utility tray for easy viewing. The charger
has an in-line fuse that protects the ammeter. 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.
WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly
into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
WARNING! You must recharge your Jet s batteries with the supplied onboard or the supplied off-
board charging system. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.
