Your Ypush is powered by a Lithium battery  
pack. These packs are extremely light for their 
capacity and give outstanding performance  
provided that they are used in accordance with 
this manual. 

Built-in battery indicator:

 The battery charge 

state can be shown even when disconnected from 
the Ypush by pressing button 

A

64

  

This is very useful for charging the battery away 
from the Ypush or when charging a spare battery.  
When all of the four LEDS are lit, the battery is 
fully charged. As the level of charge reduces so 
do the number of lit LEDs

Battery & charging

Warning! 

If the charger and or battery 

pack appear damaged in any way do not use 
it/them and contact your dealer for a  
replacement/s.

Warning! 

NEVER

 smoke or charge  

batteries in a place where there are naked 
flames such as gas-fired heaters as, under 
exceptional circumstances, batteries may give 
off gases that could ignite and explode. If the 
Ypush has been damaged, it is possible that 
the battery has been affected. In this case do 
not charge the Ypush battery and refer to 
your dealer for assistance. Never charge the 
Ypush outside as the charger is not designed 
to get wet. If the charger appears damaged in 
any way do not use it and contact your dealer 
for a replacement.

Warning! 

Always charge in a dry, well 

ventilated area and strictly observe the  
temperature limits in the specification section 
of this manual.

Warning! 

It is strongly recommended that 

the mains socket used for charging the Ypush  
is protected by a 30 m/A RCD (residual  
current device). Many buildings have sockets 
protected by a system based RCD. If you are 
in doubt as to the level of protection in your 
charging location then either purchase a plug 
in RCD or consult a qualified electrician to 
verify that your charging location mains  
sockets are protected.

Warning!

 If batteries are damaged or  

frozen they could heat up during charging 
and in an extreme case, explode.

Warning!

 Do not attempt to open the  

battery case, there are no user serviceable 
parts inside. It may be necessary for some 
carriers such as airlines to physically  
disconnect the battery pack for transit. If this 
is the case the battery can be removed and 
the grey isolating bung fitted. See Air Travel 
section for further details.

Warning! 

Never use a battery that is not 

fully charged. If the battery fails to charge 
or is suspected of malfunctioning then stop 
using it and refer to your dealer.

Warning! 

Never use a faulty or 

unapproved battery and or charger!
