4.2 Charging the battery

WARNING

Using an unapproved battery charger

Risk of severe injuries due to electric shock

Only use the supplied battery charger.

INFORMATION

If the battery is fully charged, the battery life during normal use is up to 8 h. Ottobock recommends charging the
battery daily. Charging the battery before it is drained has a positive impact on its service life.
The charging process takes about 90 minutes. It can only be performed within the prescribed charging temperat­
ure range. 

Only charge the battery after it has warmed/cooled to room temperature.

If you intend to store the battery for longer than 6 months: Fully charge the battery first in order to extend its
service life.

Putting the battery charger into operation

The battery charger can charge two batteries at the same time. There is an LED for each
battery  that  indicates  the  status.  An  LED  indicates  whether  the  battery  charger  is  being
supplied with power. All LEDs can be turned off with a button on the front, for example so
they are not bothersome in the dark.

1)  Connect the cable of the power supply to the battery charger.
2)  Connect the plug to an outlet. An LED lights up as soon as the battery charger is sup­

plied with electricity.
