BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your Jazzy 1113 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 deep 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 are also unsafe for use in power chairs.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

The battery charger is one of the most important parts of your Jazzy 1113. The battery charger is designed to optimize your Jazzy 1113’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The charging system consists of the charger, the charger fuse, and the ammeter. The onboard charger is located on the battery tray. The charger fuse and the ammeter are located on the rear electronics tray. 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! You must recharge your Jazzy 1113’s batteries with the supplied onboard or off-board charging system. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

To charge the batteries by using the onboard charger:

1.Position the rear of your Jazzy 1113 close to a standard wall outlet.

2.Be certain that the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engagedposition. See IV. “The Jazzy 1113”.

3.Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. The Jazzy 1113 incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is plugged into a wall outlet.

4.The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move up to as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0 amps as it charges.

5.We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle will slowly drop to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle will vibrate on or about the zero mark on the meter scale.

6.When your Jazzy 1113’s batteries are fully charged, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wind it up, and store it in the seat pouch located on the back of the seat.

OFF-BOARD CHARGER

Your Jazzy may be equipped with an off-board, or external, charger.Typically, external chargers plug into the controller. If your Jazzy is equipped with an external charger, refer to the instructions that come with the charger.
