It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilise and adjust to its new ambient temperature.
More importantly, it takes a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain—then full recharge) to establish the critical
chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life.
It is well worth it for you to take the time to break in the batteries properly.
NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.
How can I insure maximum battery life?
A fully charged deep-cycle battery provides reliable performance and extended battery life, so keep the batteries fully
charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored
without a full charge may become permanently damaged, causing unreliable Jazzy operation and limited life.
How should I store my Jazzy 1103 and batteries?
If you do not use your Jazzy 1103 regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at
least once a week.
If you do not plan on using your Jazzy 1103 for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the Jazzy in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such
as freezing conditions and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery. A cold or frozen
battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.
NOTE: If you are storing a Jazzy 1103 for an extended period of time, you may wish to block the unit up off
the ground with several boards under the frame. This will keep the tyres off the ground and prevent the
possibility of flat spots developing.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling!
