Your Pride Jazzy Carbon exists for one reason: to go where you go. A carbon fiber frame brings the whole chair to 43.6 pounds with the battery installed, it folds flat in seconds to 28.3 by 24 by 12.2 inches, and a 24 inch turning radius keeps it usable in hotel rooms and restaurant aisles. Front suspension smooths out sidewalk cracks and thresholds, free wheel levers let it be pushed manually, and the removable joystick has a USB charger built in. The lithium battery at the center of it weighs just four pounds.
We stock the genuine Pride OEM battery for this chair, and on the Carbon that choice matters more than on any other product we sell. Pride states plainly that airline approval of the Jazzy Carbon 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 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.
The specification is a 24 volt, 12 amp hour lithium ion battery rated at 288 watt hours, restoring the Carbon’s full range of up to 9.3 miles per charge. That 288Wh figure sits just under the FAA’s 300 watt hour limit for lithium batteries on commercial aircraft, which is exactly how this chair earns its reputation. 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 the documentation they ask for.
This same pack also fits the Rascal Carbon Cruiser, which shares the 24 volt 12 amp hour specification. If you own either chair and are unsure, send us photos through the form below and we will confirm before you order.
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 four pounds, many Carbon owners carry a second pack on long travel days, effectively doubling their range. Shipping is free, your order leaves our warehouse within three business days, and real people answer our phone whenever you have a question.
