SKYLOTEC Ascenders use specially designed lithium-based batteries with a very high energy density and are therefore very compact, light-weight and
extremely powerful. Due to the high energy the batteries contain, it is of utmost importance that they are treated with care and that the user has read the
following section with attention. This is for your own safety, but also for optimal Battery life and performance.
SKYLOTEC recommends users to follow the Battery care guidelines below for optimal lifetime and performance:
• battery can stay connected to ACX during transport or short term storage (1 week). For longer storage, disconnect the Battery and do a
maintenance charge every 3 months
• always charge batteries as soon as possible after use
• disconnect batteries from the charger after charging
• always store batteries fully charged
• store batteries between 5°C (41°F) and 25°C (77°F)
WARNING: Not following instructions may result in damage to property, serious bodily injury or death.
NOTE: Under normal service conditions it is expected that the Battery will last 5 years. The lifetime is dependent on, how much load is lifted and the
operational temperatures (See also section 4.8).
