To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:
1.Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.
2.Operate your Jazzy 1400 about the house and grounds. Move slowly at first and don’t travel too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
3.Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your Jazzy 1400 again. The batteries should now perform at over 90% of their potential. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.
