The onboard charger on my Jazzy 1113 does not work after replacing the gel batteries. Do I need to replace the onboard charger?

Hello, this may be a late answer. I would have returned to the technician for answers, also. It may be possible to regenerate batteries so hang on to them until you have them tested. Hope this helped .

Your chair uses two U-1 batteries.

Here's the manual:

Since you're about to replace them anyway, you might try something else first..
Your charger is a "smart" charger. If the charge on the batteries is too low, the charger won't recognise them as bateries, and won't charge them.
Get access to the batteries (it's in the manual) and disconnect them. Keep track of where the wires came from. Use an old, non-"smart", car charger to put a quick charge on them. Bring them up to 12 V each, or just an hour apiece.
Hook everything back up and try it again with the Pride charger.

Good luck.

Gel Cell is always better

The voltmeter should read 29 volts when on. You should never replace one battery and leave an old battery in the chair. Replace them both at the same time.

my chair jazzy 1113 ats won't move.all the lights are flashing and the batteries are fully charged why are they flasng

Unfortunatly, your batteries need to be replaced. The batteries contain a gel that needs to have current run through it on a regular basis (at least 8 hours once a week) or it will solidify. If you attach the charger, what will most likely happen is the green light will either stay green or go to green after a very short time. The charger will indicate the batteries are full, but instead of being full of power, they are full of crud. Your warranty will most likely not cover replacment as this is due to customer neglect, but your insurance may still cover the replacement if you can wait for the process to go through. Otherwise, you will need to replace the batteries on your own, check your owner's manual for the type needed. Good luck!

The flash of the speed lights indicate that you are in the charger inhibit mode and if the charger is not plugged in then you have a problem that needs to be checked by a tech or your provider that sold you your chair Sorry I don't have a quick fix

Most likely the batteries have gone solid while it was sitting unused. The gel in the batteries requires them to be put on a charger at least once a week even if the rider is not using the chair otherwise the batteries will go bad. Replace the batteries and that will most likely solve your problem. If his insurance bought the power chair for him, they may cover the cost of the replacement batteries. The batteries cost $75-$120 otherwise, and you will need two of them.
Good luck!

Hi. Check that batteries are correctly connected. I have had a lot of trouble with faulty battery connectors. Most machines need better connectors that can handle higher currents. Are the LED's on the charger showing correctly. The charger wont operate correctly if it is not conected to the batteries correctly. Check for broken wires in the chager socket. Good luck. Neil.

Most likely your charge isn't charging properly. You need a multimeter to test the voltage at the joystick. In the 3-pin femal connector measure the voltage across the two horizontal terminals. It should read about 24 volts. Now plug it into the charger and see if the voltage increases, if not, charger needs to be replaced. You can get one that plugs into the joystick on ebay a lot cheaper than going to the mfgr. about $50.00 or so. Even if the lights are blinking, it may not be putting out sufficient voltage to bring the batteries up.
