Battery Information
For safe handling and to extend the battery
lifetime, please follow and remember these
instructions.
Make sure the battery belongs to the floor lift by
comparing the battery label with the technical
specifications in the
Instructions for Use
. If battery
type cannot be confirmed, call qualified
personnel.
Battery life depends on many factors : frequency
of use, frequency of charging, temperature of
operation, storage and storage time.
Make sure to have a replacement battery ready
when needed. Do this by having additional battery
packs available and keeping one charging while
the other is in use.
The SARA LITE uses sealed lead-acid batteries
mounted to the control box. The battery pack
assembly consists of two 12-volt, 4 Ah (24 volts
capacity). Battery life is variable (2-3 years) and is
influenced by proper charging practices and load
exertion. Lead-acid battery packs are not subject
to a memory effect. Therefore, they need not to
be completely drained before being recharged.
To prolong the battery pack life, recharge it before
it reaches a low state of battery charge, and
certainly before it is totally discharged.
Your lift is equipped with an audible warning
device, which will make a noise when the battery
charge indicator reaches the red light range.
When a fully charged battery is inserted into the
lift, the display will return to the green fully
charged position, regardless of the level the
indicator had reached previously.
If a partially charged battery is inserted, the
previous indicator level will be maintained, even
though the recently inserted battery may be in a
better state of charge than indicated. To achieve a
true indication of battery condition, a fully charged
battery must be inserted into the lift. This will reset
the indicator.
Removing the Battery
To remove a discharged battery pack, push the
red button and pull straight out towards you.
Replace the pack with a fully charged one from
the wall mounted charging unit.

Battery Charging
The battery should be recharged as soon as the
charge indicator displays amber.
Refer to
Battery Charger Instructions for Use
for
charging details.
Note that the battery pack may remain connected
to the charger when fully charged.
A discharged battery should take approximately
eight hours to fully recharge.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it
from the charger, and insert it back into the SARA
LITE.
CAUTION: Not following these instructions
can cause short battery life.
CAUTION: Remove the battery pack from
the lift when storing for an extended period
of time. Stored batteries should be
recharged at least every two weeks to
maximize their life span.
NOTE: Batteries need to be charged for a
minimum of 8 hours prior to initial use of
this lift.
WARNING: Hold the battery pack firmly to
ensure that it does not drop and become
damaged or cause injury.
