Page 32: Batteries And Charging
Daily Use If you use your Jet 1 on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your Jet 1 for the day. Your Jet 1 will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours after each day’s use. - Page 33 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 you if you take the time to break in your Jet 1’s batteries properly. US Jet 1 ATS/Rev B/Jul03 www.pridemobility.com...
