Your Pride Jazzy Carbon 27 is one of the lightest FDA Class II power chairs made. At 27.8 pounds without the battery, it folds flat in seconds and lifts into a trunk or overhead bin without help. Carbon fiber gives it strength that belies the weight, front suspension smooths out sidewalk cracks and thresholds, and the quick disconnect LCD joystick brings a digital display, USB-C charging, and a puddle light. The lithium pack that powers all of it weighs about 4.6 pounds.
We stock the genuine Pride OEM battery for this chair, and on the Carbon line that choice matters more than on most products. 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 Carbon 27 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.
Before ordering, confirm which Carbon you have, because Pride sells several and they take different batteries. The Carbon 27 uses this 12 amp hour pack at about 4.6 pounds and carries up to 300 pounds. The Carbon 27X is a different chair with an X-frame that folds vertically, and it uses a smaller 10 amp hour pack at about 3.5 pounds. The original Jazzy Carbon uses its own pack as well. 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. Because a spare weighs only 4.6 pounds, many Carbon 27 owners keep a second pack charged for long travel days. Shipping is free, your order leaves our warehouse within three business days, and real people answer our phone whenever you have a question.
