    V I I I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G BATTERIES Your Jet 1 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.

  • Page 26 You should use the charger supplied with the Jet 1. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger). Your Jet 1’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.
  • Page 27 We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your Jet 1’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).
