The battery charger has an LED indicator to show charging status. The following describes LED indicator
operation.
Amber Light Flashing
–
The amber light flashing indicates that the battery charger has AC power and
the microprocessor is functioning properly. If the amber light continues to flash, either the battery voltage
is too low (battery pack needs to be replaced), or the battery charger is not properly connected to the
battery.
Alternating Green/Amber (Amber LED & Green)
•
This indicates reverse polarity connection to the battery.
or
•
The
charger’s safety timer has activated due to the battery not reaching its optimal voltage. The
battery may be defective, contact S.R. Smith customer service for troubleshooting.
Amber Light on Steady
–
Whenever the amber light is on steady, a battery is connected properly to the
charger and the charger is charging the battery. The amber light will remain on until the charger
completes the charging stage.
Green Light Flashing
–
When the charger shows a green flashing light, the battery is 80% charged.
Whenever possible, leave the battery on the charger until the green light is solid.
Green Light on Steady -
When the green light stops flashing and remains on steady, the battery is fully
charged and can be returned to service. The battery can and should be left on the charger when not in
use.
Batteries have a normal lifespan of between 2-3 years, depending on use and care. A fully charged
battery will provide approximately 30 to 40-lifting cycles, depending on the weight of the users. Prior to
use the battery charge level should be checked by observing the LED indicator on the charger plug to
ensure sufficient charge level. See warranty policy regarding battery replacement.
It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery prior to charging. Battery should be charged daily and
cannot be overcharged. It takes up to twelve hours to fully charge depending upon battery usage. Do not
allow battery to fully discharge, as it will shorten battery life. Whenever battery is removed from Control
Box or the lift is not in use it is important to connect battery to charger. This ensures battery is fully
charged and ready for use.
Do not drop the battery, as it could cause the unit to fail. If the battery case is cracked do not use and
replace the battery. Do not place battery on a conductive surface. During temperature extremes beyond
the range of 41 F (5 C) to 104 F (40 C) remove battery and place in a controlled environment or battery
life may be shortened.
Battery Disposal
- The batteries located inside the battery pack are recyclable and shall be disposed of
in accordance with applicable local, state/provincial or federal/national regulations.
