Your Pride Jazzy Carbon 27X is the lightest chair in the Carbon family and among the lightest power chairs made anywhere. At 27.5 pounds with the battery removed, it lifts into a trunk or overhead bin one handed. What sets the 27X apart from its siblings is the X-frame: rather than folding flat, it collapses vertically in seconds, which is why it slips into narrow spaces other folding chairs cannot. A programmable quick disconnect joystick, adjustable footrests, and flip up arms round it out.
We stock the genuine Pride OEM battery for this chair, and on the Carbon line that choice carries real weight. Pride states plainly that airline approval depends on using the original manufacturer battery, and that replacement or non-original equipment may not meet approval for air travel. If you bought a 27X to fly with it, an aftermarket pack could quietly cost you the one capability you paid for, so rather than offer a cheaper alternative that might strand you at a gate, we stock the OEM pack.
Confirm which Carbon you have before ordering, because Pride sells three and each takes a different battery. The 27X uses this 10 amp hour pack at about 3.5 pounds and carries up to 275 pounds, with an X-frame that folds vertically and a 35.4 inch turning radius. The Carbon 27 uses a larger 12 amp hour pack at 4.6 pounds and carries 300 pounds. The original Jazzy Carbon uses its own pack again. If you are unsure, send us photos of your chair and battery through the form below and we will confirm before you order.
The FAA permits lithium batteries up to 300 watt hours on commercial aircraft, and Pride markets this pack as airline compliant. Airlines require the battery to either stay on the chair protected from other baggage, or be removed with its terminals covered and carried on separately. Policies vary by carrier, so confirm before you fly and we are glad to help you find whatever documentation they ask for.
Your battery ships partially charged, which is standard for safe lithium transport, so charge it fully before your first outing. Installation takes minutes with no tools: power off the chair, release the old pack, seat the new one until it locks, and power back on. A lithium pack’s management system can enter protection mode during shipping or storage and briefly read as having no voltage, which is normal rather than a defect; connecting your charger usually wakes it up. At three and a half pounds this is the lightest pack in the Carbon family, so a charged spare is barely noticeable in a bag and doubles your range on a long day.
