Removing the Battery
Pull battery upward to unlock. Battery must be lifted vertically to disengage locking
hook. Failure to lift vertically will wear locking clips and will lead to battery falling
out during operation. Do not hinge back. Lift straight up to clear the locking hooks.
5 Charging the Battery
The battery cells within the battery housing are maintenance-free, sealed, and
rechargeable. Their durability largely depends on the charge and discharge cycles.
It is possible to extract far more than 1,000 partial discharges from lead-acid
batteries if total discharge is avoided.
Always charge battery immediately after use
Fully charge battery before first use
Always keep battery as fully charged as possible and avoid total discharge
Lead-acid batteries will self-discharge when not used
The battery automatically has a 4.5 hour cut-out time, so overcharging is
impossible
The optimum temperature for charging the battery is 65°
–75° Fahrenheit (18° to
24° Celsius). Temperatures outside this range may reduce battery capacity
If the battery has not been fully charged or tends to lose charge too rapidly, this
will reduce the speed and capacity of the Powered Stair Climber and it may go
into the overload mode as a result, even with light loads

Battery Chargers
There are two optional DC chargers and one AC charger available from Magline
for your Powered Stair Climber. The AC charger is included with each new
Powered Stair Climber purchase. Prior to every use, check your battery charger for
any damaged wires.
Battery Holder with AC Charger (part number 930602)
This charger comes standard with every Powered Stair Climber purchase.
High performance is achieved by 2-step automatic and digital control engineering.
This allows for quick charging in the first step and compensation / trickle charging
in the second step.
To test the battery, connect the battery charger to the battery (without plugging
into the wall outlet). After approximately 9 seconds the test result will display by
progress bars:
