It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature.
More importantly, it takes 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 is well worth it to take the time
to break in your battery properly.
REMEMBER : The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

A fully charged, deep-cycle battery provides reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Jazzy’s
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable Jazzy operation and limited battery life.

If you do not use your Jazzy 1120 regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at
least once a week.
If you do not plan on using your Jazzy 1120 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 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 1120 for an extended period of time, you may wish to block the unit up
with several boards under the frame. This keeps the tires off the ground and prevents the possibility of flat
spots developing.
