Charging the Batteries

 

The VERA-LIFT II™ is equipped with a charging cord, which charges the battery when 

plugged into a standard 120 volt A.C. outlet. (See charging instructions on the lift.) Plugging 

the lift into an outlet continuously for 7 hours, such as at night, will charge the batteries 

enough for a full day of patient transfers. Emergencies can arise, however, which may 

cause the staff to forget to plug the lift in (example: an emergency near the end of the 

evening shift). In order to make sure the VERA-LIFT II™ batteries will always be charged, 

the lift may be plugged into an outlet whenever it is not being used. Either charging 

procedure is acceptable. 

When the VERA-LIFT II™ is plugged in, the green “battery charge” light on the pendant 

switch will be lit and you will hear a click, which indicate the batteries are being charged. 

Pendant Switch Battery Indicator Lights

 

The pendant switch has a green “battery charge” light and a red “low battery” light. The 

“battery charge” light will shine when the charging cord plugged into a 120 volt outlet and 

the batteries are charging. The “low battery” light will shine when the batteries have used 

about 70% of their charge. Although enough charge will remain to do several more 

transfers when the “low battery” light is lit, it is important for staff to plug the main adapter 

in and recharge the batteries. 

 WARNING 

Be sure to unplug the charging cord from the wall outlet before moving the VERA-LIFT 

II™ to prevent damage to the lift.

 

 WARNING 

For your protection, the lift will not work while it is charging.
