7.5 Battery Maintenance

If the audible indicator beeps and the blue indicator on the
hoist flashes after the hoist has been fully charged and only
been in use for a short period of time, the battery may need
to be exercised.
To enable the battery to charge fully, the battery should be
exercised from time to time.
Following a long period of storage, it could also be necessary
to exercise the battery.
It is also suggested that the battery is exercised in situations
where the hoist is used infrequently, and/or where the hand
control is placed in the charger for long periods of time. In
this situation, there will always be capacity enough for a few
lifts, but we recommend to exercise the battery as soon
as possible afterwards.
Exercise of the battery can be done by charging and
discharging the hoist completely several times.
1. Charge the battery until the LED turns green.
2. Remove the hand control from the charger.
3. Raise and lower the straps with a load for one minute.
4. Wait ten minutes.
5. Repeat Steps 3–4 until the battery is completely
discharged.
Continue this process after the audible alert
sounds and the blue light flashes, indicating the
battery is low.
6. Repeat Steps 1–5 two to three times.
