Jet 1

V I I I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G

BATTERIES

Your Jet 1 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance-free.

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.

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

Wash hands after handling.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Jet 1 batteries. See figure 26. The battery charger is

designed to optimize your Jet 1s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The charging

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

charger is located underneath the utility tray. The ammeter is located on the utility 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.

NOTE: You must recharge your Jet 1s batteries with the supplied onboard or the supplied off-board charg-

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

To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:

1. Position the rear of your Jet 1 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 III. The

Jet 1.

3. Remove the battery charger cord from the back pouch of your Jet 1 and plug it into the battery charger power

outlet located on the utility tray. See figure 27.
