Operation
Battery care
Molift PowerPac system is a battery with a 14,4 V
cell unit that is placed in the battery holder on the
lift. A charger is also supplied to charge the battery
whenever needed.
This battery system is the same on all of Molift’s
mobile lifts.
The power cable of the charger should be connected
to the power outlet at all times (verify that the charg-
er is suitable for the local power system voltage).
Place the battery in the holder according to the ar-
row markings. Press the battery gently down to en-
sure good contact between battery and charger.
Battery capacity
A LED (Light Emitting Diode) is situated on the bat-
tery holder. If the voltage of the battery falls below
a certain level, the diode will change to orange, in-
dicating the need for charging. There is still enough
capacity to perform 3-5 lift cycles (75 kg) at this
point.
If the battery is discharged during a working ses-
sion, it’s recommended to have two batteries, so a
second charged battery is available when needed.
If the battery is discharged during a lift, it is
always enough power to lower the user down
again.
Battery types and chargers
Molift PowerPac can be used with two kinds of bat-
teries; NiCd and NiMH.
The battery and charger types must not be
mixed. Use of wrong charger to battery type
may cause overheating and damage to the
powerpac
Be aware that these two batteries have differ-
ent chargers. Follow the instructions printed
on the battery.
It’s not possible to overcharge the batteries,
but to ensure optimal performance through-
out the lifetime of the battery, we recommend
that the battery is allowed to rest for a cou-
ple of minutes after charging to cool down
before use. It is also important that fully
charged batteries are not charged without
being used.
The chargers have different ways of showing the
status of the charging process.
• NiCd-charger
The charger has a LED indicating the status of
the battery as described below:
LED Mode Output
Yellow No battery 5 V
Yellow Initalization (10 sec) 100 mA
Orange Fast charge 1,8 A
Green/yellow Top-off charge 70 mA
Green Trickle charge 100 mA
Orange/green Error 100 mA
It is recommended that NiCd batteries are
placed in the charger when not in use. Reg-
ularly (each 10 times) the battery should be
used until the charging indicator on the lifter
glows, before charging the battery.
•
NiMH-charger
The charger has two diodes - a green and a red.
The red diode will glow as soon as the battery is
placed in the charging unit and maximum charg-
ing current is applied. The green diode will start
to glow when the battery is fully charged and
the charger switches to maintenance charging.
If the charger can’t detect fully charged battery
after about 8 hours, a built in timer will force
the charger to maintenance mode to avoid over-
charging.
