Sealed lead batteries

The sealed lead 12 V / 5 Ah batteries are located within the device's housing
should be recharged after each use.

The batteries are subjects to a so-called self-discharge. Therefore, you
should connect them to the charger whenever possible. Due to the fact that
they automatically goes into charge retention as soon as they are fully char-
ged, an overcharge is impossible

.

If your batteries does not possess their full capacity yet, the reason may be
that new batteries reaches their full capacity only after several char-
ging/discharging cycles.

If fully charged batteries discharge more quickly as before, they are probably
used up. In such case, please have your authorized dealer check and replace
them, if necessary.

These batteries are sealed, maintenance free, rechargeable and of top quali-
ty. They are considered as safe as dry cells and admitted for air travel accor-
ding to DOT and IATA.

F

If the

escalino

is at a standstill for some time, please connect it to the

charger to retain the charge. This does not damage the sealed lead
acid batteries, on the contrary, it increases their durability.

Please avoid a total discharge:

The durability of sealed lead acid batteries

depends primarily on the charge/discharge cycle. For instance, you may
discharge them partially more than 750 times and use up the entire capacity
more than 200 times, if you avoid a total discharge entirely.

A total discharge does not only lead to a loss of the batteries’ capacity, but
also shortens their durability. Thus, do avoid a total discharge, by recharging
the batteries whenever possible!

Charging your batteries is taking good care of them.

F

Always charge your batteries with the AAT Alber Antriebstechnikg
GmbH charger delivered with your

escalino

. This particular charger

automatically turns off when the batteries are fully charged keeping
them from being overcharged.

If fully charged batteries run empty faster as usual, then they are probably
used up. In such case please have them checked and, if nessesary, replaced
by AAT Alber Antriebstechnik or its representative.

Damaged batteries you can turn in at designated places for proper recycling.
You may also return them to you authorized AAT representative.
