NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Afully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Jet 1’s 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 Jet 1 operation and limited battery life.

How should I store my Jet 1 and its batteries?

If you do not use your Jet 1 regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once per week.

If you do not plan on using your Jet 1 for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the Jet 1 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 a Jet 1 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 where they come in contact with the floor.

What about public transportation?

If you intend to use public transportation while using your Jet 1, you must contact in advance the transportation provider to determine their specific requirements.

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 your Jet 1 to your final destination, repack your Jet 1 in the original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
