How can I ensure maximum battery life?

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

How should I store my Jazzy and its batteries?

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

If you do not plan on using your Jazzy for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the Jazzy 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.

What about public transportation?

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries are FederalAviationAdministration (FAA) approved, allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s specific requirements.

What about shipping?

If you wish to use a freight company to ship your Jazzy to your final destination, repack your Jazzy in the original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
