Battery Charging - Forward Lift MCH13 Guía De Instalación, Operación Y Mantenimiento

BATTERY CHARGING

1. Battery chargers can be plugged in nearly continuously
or as needed. Life of the battery can be decreased if the
batteries are charged regularly (for example, after every
use), and not allowed to be fully discharged. If lift will
remain plugged in AGM batteries are recommended. If not,
continuously plugged in marine grade deep cycle batteries are
recommended.
IMPORTANT
If marine grade deep cycle batter are used
Do Not operate lift while batteries are charging.
2. When batteries are not being charged, the front panel
indicator can be used to determine the battery charge level.
On the front panel, a yellow light indicates that the battery
is partly discharged and should be recharged. A red light
indicates that you are near the end of the battery capacity and
may not have enough energy left to complete a fully loaded lift
cycle; the batteries must be recharged. When the batteries
are being charged, the lights on the battery charger will
indicate whether the battery is being charged (yellow light) or
has reached full charge (green light). Indicator light is visible
on the side panel of the door, just below the lift operation
control box, Fig. 17.
3. Charge time will vary depending on the amount of energy
that was discharged. A fully discharged battery will need to
be recharged overnight to be fully restored. However, if a
single lift is required, a short charge time (such as 15 minutes)
should restore the batteries enough for a fully loaded lift cycle.
4. Battery performance will vary depending on the brand
of battery selected, the battery specifications, how well the
batteries are maintained, and the age of the batteries.
