User-friendly 12 Volt U1 Battery For The Drive Medical Image Perfect Gift [Mt1NXkSd]

The Drive Medical Image requires strong and dependable batteries, not just for propulsion, but for the power seat system. As a result, sooner or later it will need replacement batteries. If the time has come to swap out those tired old Drive batteries, Monster Scooter Parts has just what you. A new 12 volt U1 battery for the Jazzy Air from Monster Scooter Parts will put the energy back into your Drive power chair.

We offer these batteries individually or in a pack of two in both chemistries - AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) or gel. Our AGM batteries offer a capacity of 35 Ah while our gel batteries offer a 32 Ah capacity. U1 battery packs consist of two 12 volt batteries which together provide 24 volts of power to your Drive Image.

All of these superb battery options offer a one-year warranty and will meet or exceed your original equipment battery specifications. 

AGM Batteries

• Acid is absorbed by a very fine fiberglass mat, making the battery spill-proof. This enables shipment via air or ground without hazardous material restrictions.
• Higher capacity (35 Ah) compared to gel batteries (32 Ah) of the same physical size.
• Less expensive and more popular than gel batteries.
• Lower life span compared to gel batteries when batteries are regularly deep-discharged between charges. Life span is greatly improved if batteries are recharged before reaching 50% discharge.
• Safe for airline travel.
• Maintenance-free.
• Can be installed upright or on their side.
• One-year warranty.

Gel Batteries

• Acid is "gelled" by the addition of Silica Gel, turning the acid into a solid mass that looks like gooey Jell-O and making the battery spill-proof. This enables shipment via air or ground without hazardous material restrictions.
• Lower capacity (32 Ah) compared to AGM batteries (35 Ah) of the same physical size.
• More expensive than AGM batteries.
• Superior life span compared to AGM batteries when batteries are regularly deep-discharged between charges.
• Safe for airline travel.
• Maintenance-free.
• Can be installed upright or on their side.
• One-year warranty.

These are what are known as U1 batteries. Note that the U1 designation refers only to a common universal physical dimension, and the name can apply to both AGM and Gel types. The ubiquitous U1 is currently the most common size of power chair and mobility scooter battery.

Whether you choose the AGM or the Gel type U1 battery, you can rest assured of top-quality replacement batteries, and all our batteries are backed by a one year warranty. At Monster Scooter Parts, we want to be your go-to source for the very best replacement Drive parts and accessories.

Break-in time for gel batteries
New gel batteries will perform better after a break-in period of between 15 and 20 cycles (discharged and then recharged). If you recharge your scooter or power chair's battery every night, this break-in period should last about two to three weeks before your gel batteries become activated to their full power potential.

In addition, gel batteries should always be recharged by way of a battery charger that has been optimized for gel-batteries.
