BATTERIES

The Jet uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free

batteries. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are

designed to handle a longer and deeper 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 also are

unsafe for use in power chairs.

Charging the Batteries

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Jet batteries. See figure 26. The battery charger is

designed to optimize your Jet’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The charging

system consists of the charger, the charger fuse, and the ammeter. See figures 26 and 27. The onboard charger is

located underneath the electronics tray. The ammeter is located on the electronics tray for easy viewing. The

charger has an in-line fuse that protects the ammeter. 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!  Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger.  Plug the charger directly

into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

WARNING! You must recharge your power chair batteries with the supplied onboard or off-board

charging system.  Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:

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

2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See IV. “The

Jet 1 HD.”

WARNING!  Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.

Wash hands after handling.

WARNING!  Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery.

This damges the battery and may cause personal injury.  Attempting to charge a battery in freezing

conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
