Your Pride Jazzy Passport folds in a few simple steps down to 31 by 23.5 by 16 inches, which is what makes it fit in car trunks and closets that will not take a rigid chair. A dual braking system, a free wheel lever, under seat storage, and a back seat pocket keep it practical day to day, and three inches of ground clearance handle curb cuts and thresholds without fuss. A single lithium battery powers all of it.
Pride offers the Passport with two different packs, and the choice comes down to range versus weight. The standard 24 volt, 18 amp hour battery weighs about 7.6 pounds and delivers the full distance, up to 11 miles at 200 pounds and 9.6 miles at 250. The 25.2 volt, 10.4 amp hour battery weighs about 5.2 pounds, two and a half pounds lighter, and delivers up to 6.3 miles at 200 pounds and 5.7 miles at 250.
For most owners the 18Ah is the sensible everyday choice, since more range per charge means less thinking about the gauge. The lighter 10.4Ah makes sense if you frequently lift the battery out of the chair yourself, if the chair is loaded and unloaded often, or if your typical outings are short enough that the extra range would go unused. Some owners keep both and swap depending on the day.
We stock genuine Pride OEM packs rather than aftermarket substitutes, because on a chair with a single battery there is no second pack picking up the slack if the first one underperforms. Every battery is tested before it ships and protected by its built in management system, which guards against overcharging, overheating, over discharge, and short circuits.
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. 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. One habit that genuinely extends lithium life: avoid running the pack below about 10 percent, and keep it topped up rather than storing it low. Shipping is free, your order leaves our warehouse within three business days, and real people answer our phone whenever you have a question.
