3.Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your Jazzy 1104 again. The batteries should now perform at over 90% of their potential.

4.After four or five charging cycles, the batteries top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING—FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

How does the charger work?

The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The Jazzy 1104 batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. This is why the charging ammeter initially reads 5 or more amps. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger doesn’t work as hard to complete the charging cycle. This explains why the charging ammeter drops as it approaches a full charge. When the battery is fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery.

Can I use a different battery charger?

You should use the charger supplied with the Jazzy 1104. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger). Your Jazzy 1104’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your local authorized provider for assistance.

How often must I charge the batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your Jazzy 1104 all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

νDaily Use

If you use your Jazzy 1104 on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished. Your Jazzy 1104 will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.

νInfrequent Use

If you use your Jazzy 1104 infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for 12 to 14 hours.

Note: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these factors affect the distance or running time per battery charge. The following are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge.

νAlways fully charge the batteries prior to your trip.
