A BA21 Li-Ion battery contains several mechanisms to protect itself from being damaged due to
excessive use:
▪
In case of overheating, the device will activate a thermal protection. No power output will be
available until the temperature is back again within normal operating range. (Extensive use at
high temperatures or when exceeding the 1/19 duty cycle may lead to overheating)
Life span at normal use: at least 7 years for a Li-Ion battery. The way of use can shorten this life span
considerably.
Operating time: depending on the kind of movement (backrest, height adjustment) and load. An alarm
signal warns you during an electric manipulation, in case the capacity of the battery does not suffice
anymore to further manipulate the bed. Immediately connect the bed to the net as soon as this alarm
signal is audible.
Charge the battery completely before you start using the bed (at least 10 hours). Multiple high
discharges have a harmful effect on the life span of the battery.

Description:
The Ba21 Li-Ion battery has a deep discharge protection to protect the battery life. The deep
discharge protection is activated when the battery is discharged. The battery has to be discharged to
exit the deep discharge mode. To prevent potential problems, we strongly recommend you to follow
the advice as described hereunder:
▪
The battery sets have an average life span of 7 years at correct use. Frequent and/or huge
discharges have a harmful effect on the life span of the battery. It is recommended to connect the
control box to the net as much as possible, so that a long life span of the battery is guaranteed. It
is also necessary to charge a battery that is not built-in, and not used, at least every 3 months. In
this way, you prevent a self-discharge of the battery.
▪
The battery has to be replaced every 9 years, irrespective of the operating conditions. Using the
battery longer can damage the control box and/or battery.
▪
Replaced batteries go via Linak or Haelvoet to the recycling cycle, or may be recycled in the same
way as car batteries.
Annual preventive battery check:
Make sure that the battery is completely charged before it is tested. Disconnect the bed from the net
and put an adult person on the mattress platform. The battery should be able to carry out at least two
complete relax cycles without any problems. If this is not the case, it is advised to replace the battery
immediately.
