How to Replace the Battery in a Jet 3 Scooter

A Jet 3 scooter is actually an electric chair that runs on two 12-volt batteries. The batteries are housed in boxes located beneath the seat of your Jet 3 chair. Over time, the batteries can become permanently depleted and cease to hold a charge. If you want to remove the batteries for troubleshooting purposes or replace them altogether, you are going to have to partially disassemble the Jet 3. Removing and replacing the batteries on the Jet 3 is actually fairly straightforward, and you don't even need any tools to complete the job.
