Battery Charge Indicator
Fig. 10
The battery charge
indicator is a bar
graph display,
located on the
battery pack holder,
which shows the
charge condition of
the battery.
The lift is equipped
with an audible warning device, which will
beep when the battery level reaches the critical
range.
CAUTION:
When the indicator reaches the
critical range, recharge the battery
immediately to prevent reducing its lifespan.
When a fully charged battery is inserted into the
lift, the display will return to the green fully
charged position, regardless of the level the
indicator had reached previously. However, if a
partially charged battery is inserted, the
previous indicator level will be maintained, even
though the recently inserted battery may be in a
better state of charge than indicated. To achieve
a true indication of battery condition, a fully
charged battery must be inserted into the lift.
Battery Information
For safe handling and to extend the battery
lifetime, please follow and remember these
instructions.
The
Maxi 500
uses a 24 volts sealed lead-acid
battery pack that can deliver up to 100 lifts per
charge.
Battery life is variable (2-3 years) and is

and storage time.
To prolong the battery pack life, recharge it
before the indicator reaches the Low Battery
range.
To ensure that the
Maxi 500
is always ready for
use, it is recommended that a fully charged
battery pack always be available. Do this by
having additional battery packs, and keeping
one battery pack charging while the other is in
use.
Remove the battery pack from the lift when
storing for an extended period of time. Stored
batteries should be recharged at least every
