Charging the Battery
The steps for recharging the battery are as
follows:
1) Eject the battery from the lift unit by pressing
on the battery eject button.
2) Check to make sure that the green light on the
charger is illuminated. Insert the battery into
the charger, ensuring that the metal contact
points on the battery touch the charger’s
contacts.
The charging indicator light (yellow) will flash
while the battery is charging. When the battery is
fully charged, the charging indicator light will
become solid.
If the battery is low, it will take approximately two
hours for a full charge.
If the battery is fully drained it could take up to 6
hours to recharge.

When the lift is needed again, pull the battery out
of the charger and gently slide it back into the
Voyager
lift. The metal contacts should be inside
the lift.
The charger’s power cord can remain plugged
into the wall indefinitely, convenient for overnight
recharging.
The battery can be left in the charger for an
extended period of time without damaging either
the charger or the battery.
If the green light does not go on when the charger
is plugged into an electrical outlet, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
NOTE: To prolong battery life, place the
battery in the charger whenever the lift is not
in use. If the low battery indicator beeps, be
sure to recharge the battery as soon as
possible. Charge the battery until the
charging indicator light is a solid yellow
before using the lift again. This will extend
the life of the battery.
NOTE: Joerns / Healthcare uses sealed lead-
acid batteries. These batteries are not
affected by any memory effect. Therefore,
batteries should not be completely drained
before recharging.
WARNING: Do not operate the charger with
a damaged cord or if the unit has been
dropped or damaged.
Do not bend the power cord by force, or
place a heavy object on it. This will damage
the cord and may cause fire or electrical
shock.
CAUTION: Only use chargers that are
specified by Joerns / Healthcare to recharge
the batteries.
NOTE: To avoid dropping the battery, keep
your hand near the battery opening when
pressing on the battery eject button.
NOTE: Whenever possible, leave the battery
in the charger when the lift is not in use.
At a minimum, charge the battery until the
charging light turns solid yellow before
using again. This will extend the life of the
battery.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use a battery
not authorized by the manufacturer. The
Voyager
and its charging system use
specially
designed
batteries.
Using
unauthorized batteries may seriously
damage the lift or the charger.
CAUTION: The lift should not remain stored
for long period of time without charging the
battery. Batteries should be recharged at
least every two weeks to maximize their life-
span.
