5 Battery Information
DO NOT DROP BATTERY. A
DROPPED BATTERY MAY HAVE
INTERNAL DAMAGE THAT IS
NOT VISIBLE. IT MAY LOSE ITS
ABILITY TO RECHARGE.
Due to internal damage caused when the
battery is dropped, the battery may
indicate that it is fully charged, when in
fact the battery cannot hold a full charge.
A green light indicated on the charger
may not accurately reflect a full charge on
a damaged battery.
NEVER attempt to use a battery that
appears to be damaged or dented.
DO NOT store battery near a heat source.
Heat will damage the battery.
Always keep metal battery contacts clean.
•
24 Vdc, 2.0 Ah interchangeable and
rechargeable battery.
•
Provides 10 to 30 transfers per battery
charge (may vary depending on patient
weight and battery condition. See graph
below).
Life cycle (number of charging cycles) of the
battery is largely dependent on the depth of
discharge in each cycle. The more the battery is
drained, the shorter its life span. The life of the
battery is also related to such factors as varying
temperatures and rest periods between charge
and discharge.

GRAPH #1 illustrates the relationship between
discharging depth and expected battery life.
If you use only 30% of the battery power
between each charge, you can expect the
battery to fully charge 1050 times.
If you drain the battery until it beeps every time,
you can expect the battery to fully charge only
300 times.
To prolong battery life - Put the
battery
into
the
charger
WHENEVER THE LIFT IS NOT IN
USE.
The battery will not overcharge.
BHM uses sealed lead-acid batteries.
Contrary
to
nickel-cadmium,
BHM
batteries do not have any memory effect.
Therefore,
batteries
should
not
be
completely drained before recharge.
