BATTERIES
Your Jazzy 1120 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 powered wheelchairs.
Charging the Batteries
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Jazzy 1120 batteries. See figure 44. The battery
charger is designed to optimize your Jazzy 1120s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily.
The charging system consists of the charger, the fuse, and the ammeter. See figures 44 and 45. 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.

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