2.4 Lifting Motor
The Wendy is equipped with a powerful but quiet motor with a ball screw and safety nut.
The motor is connected to the control box. The hoist can be equipped with 2 types of lifting
motors. A fast motor for the 160kg Wendy and a strong motor for a 200 kg Wendy
There is a mechanical emergency lower control on the motor. Pull it up in an emergency
and the user will be lowered in a controlled manner. The emergency lower function always
needs a little weight in order to lower. The motor is plugged into the control box on port 1.
The specified service life of the motor is 10,000 cycles or 4,200,000 Amp x sec (see 2.2.1 -
page 7).
2.5 Battery
Two types of rechargeable batteries are available. Lead-containing (Pb) batteries and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion)
batteries. The hoist comes with one or two lead batteries as standard. Lead batteries are cheaper to purchase
and allow, even when the battery is almost empty, for the hoist to still be used with the rest of the electricity.
These batteries can reasonably last 2 to 3 years.
Li-ion batteries have a life span of approximately 5 times, are lighter, more environmentally friendly and can
be left unused for longer. The self-discharge is minimal. When a Li-ion battery is empty, there is no longer any
residual voltage available to complete a transfer.
If the Li-Ion battery remains unused for a week and is not charged, it will fall into sleep mode. It can
be taken out of sleep mode by putting it on the charger.
The battery is equipped with a simple fixing mechanism. At the rear of the battery is a handle with
which you can lock and unlock the battery on the Wendy. This is best done by pressing the battery
handle at the top during placement so that the lock is open when placed.
It is recommended to use two batteries: one in the hoist and one on the charger, so that a
reasonably charged battery is always present.
Always ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged before you start using the hoist.
2.5.1 Battery life
Capacity
The number of lifts that can be completed with a fully charged battery depends on the duration of the lifting
operations, the lifted weight and the condition of the battery.
To extend the lifespan, it is advisable to always keep the battery above 50% full in normal use. You can
discharge the battery once a year (1/2 year) up to 25% (or just below) and then fully charge it. This benefits the
life and power of the batteries.
PAY ATTENTION !! Too much discharge of a battery is again detrimental to the capacity.
Battery Drainage
A battery that is not used for a long period of time will run out. This applies to the battery in the hoist and to
the spare batteries separate from the hoist. This may cause the battery to break or lead to fewer lifts
completed with a fully charged battery.
It is recommended to charge each battery at least once a week.
