Battery Information
9.3 Battery life
Keeping the batteries properly charged will extend the
service life of the batteries. Repeated deep discharging of
the batteries will damage the batteries, reduce service life,
and reduce the performance of the lift unit. It is
recommended to charge the batteries as often as
possible, especially over a weekend, to maintain the
uptime of the lift system and ensure the longest service life
possible from the batteries
.
9.4 Battery maintenance
If the lift unit is equipped with AGM type batteries, no
periodic battery maintenance is required. If the lift unit is
equipped with wet cell type batteries, the electrolyte level
inside the batteries should be checked monthly. Prior to
checking the electrolyte level, the batteries should be fully
charged (indicated by a solid green light on the battery
charger). After opening each filler cap check that the
electrolyte level is just below the filler tube in each cell. If
any cell is found to have a low electrolyte level add distilled
water to raise the electrolyte level until it is just below the
filler tube
.
9.5 Critical battery level detected message
Each lift unit is equipped with a circuit that automatically
locks out the lift unit if the battery level gets too low to help
prevent permanent damage to the batteries. When this
lock out occurs a message of “Critical Battery Level
Detected” will be displayed on the screen. If this message
is shown the battery charger needs to be plugged in to
recharge the batteries. Once the batteries have charged
enough to allow the lift unit to operate again the “Critical
Battery Level Detected” message will automatically
disappear. At this point the lift unit will need to be
reinitialized as described in Section 8.4. It may take over
30 minutes of charging before the message disappears
and the lift unit is ready for use
.
The same circuit that locks out the lift unit will also
completely shut down the lift unit if the battery level
remains low for a longer period of time. If a lift unit is ever
found to be non-responsive and not able to start up
normally it likely shut down due to a low battery level.
Follow the steps in Section 8.16 to restart the control box
