Batteries 
 
The Shoprider Jiffy Powerchair is designed to operate on two 12 
volt/12Ah sealed lead acid or gel type maintenance free batteries. For 
easy handling, the batteries are contained within a battery-pack. The 
life of the batteries may be affected by temperature, terrain, weight of 
user, and care of batteries. The battery gauge (Refer to Figure 2) is a 
guide on the remaining charge of the batteries. 
The active user will need to charge the batteries after using 
approximately more than 30% of battery capacity. As an inactive 
user, only using from once a week to every other day, the recharge 
point would be at 50% of discharge (Refer to Figure 8). For extended 
battery life, it is highly recommended that these guidelines be 
followed. 
 
Keeping the batteries charged will extend the life of the batteries 
 
Batteries should be kept fully charged at all times. They must not be 
left in a discharged state if the unit is not being used for some time or 
the “charging space” within the batteries will be lost and can never be 
regained. The batteries should be checked once a month and kept 
charged as needed.
