12 Jazzy 1103
BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING
Your Jazzy 1103 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt batteries. These batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, deep-
cycle batteries. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries
are designed to handle a deep 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.
WARNING: You must recharge your Jazzy 1103’s batteries with the supplied
off-board charging system. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger!
To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:
1. Position your Jazzy 1103 close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the Jazzy is not in freewheel.
3. Insert the 3-pin charger lead plug into the joystick programming port located at the front of the Jazzy’s
joystick controller. See figure 11.
4. Extend the charger power lead and plug it into the wall outlet. The Jazzy 1103 incorporates an inhibit function
that disables the powered wheelchair when the charger is plugged into a wall outlet.
5. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the indicator lights located
on the back of the charger are lighted from green to yellow to red (red indicating that the battery is fully
charged).
6. When your Jazzy 1103 batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power lead from the wall outlet and
from the joystick programming port.
