VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Jazzy Select 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.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If your off-board battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your authorized Pride Provider for assistance. How often must I charge the batteries? Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain–then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.
VII. OPERATION GC CONTROLLER SYSTEM The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The GC is a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of a joystick module and a power module. See figure 19.

WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement. Speed Dial: Controls the power chair speed.
VII. OPERATION NOTE: The battery condition meter will flash the “locked” sequence. 1 LED will flash on and then off. 2 LEDs will flash on and then off. This sequence will continue until all five LEDs flash on and then off. The sequence will continue until the power is turned off or until the controller is unlocked. To unlock the controller: 1.
