may be used for. The WC-9UW will lift 50 pounds with as little as 11 Volts,
as indicated by the Battery Meter. As the Battery Meter is equipped with a
Load Resistor, which simulates the energy draw for the WC-9UW, it should
only be connected for a very short time. If the Battery Meter is left on the
Battery Pack, it will drain a fully charged battery is about 2 hours.
Battery Charging
Western Instruments 1.5 Amp Hour Battery Pack should only be charged with
the Charger supplied by Western Instruments. Batteries should not be left
on charge indefinitely, however, Western Instruments’
Smart Charger
will not
typically damage a Battery Assembly if it left charging the Battery for more
than the specified time. Batteries should not be stored when at a low charge
state, with 14 hours required to fully charge the Battery Pack. The operator
plugs the Charger’s 13.2-Volt Connector into the Receptacle on the Battery
Pack, and should note if the Red
Charging
LED comes on.
Do not attempt to charge the Battery Pack with any other type of charger.
Specifically, any type of ‘fast’ charger may cause the cells in the pack to emit
hydrogen, and will drastically shorten their capacity and life. The charger
provided is designed to automatically reduce it’s current to a ‘trickle’ after the
pack is fully charged. Furthermore, the Green
Charged
LED will glow when
the battery pack is fully charged.
Note: WC-9UW and WC-9UWK Yokes are identical, with the only difference being the charger
voltage.
The battery condition can be tested with the WC-9UW
Battery Voltage Meter
as outlined above. The WC-9UW will lift 50 Pounds (22.7Kg) with as little as
11 Volts of power left in the battery. Battery Duration Tests are routinely
