What type of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance.

Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:

Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel- cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. Lead acid batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel cadmium batteries.

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your Jazzy 1104’s spe- cific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).

It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient tem- perature. More importantly, it takes a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain—then a full recharge) to estab- lish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It is well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.
