Battery Pack 

The battery pack is medically approved 
according to IEC 60601-1, CAN/CSA-C22-2, 
No.601-1 M90 and UL 2601-1. 
 
The battery pack assembly is two 12 volt,      
5 Ah (24 volt capacity) fuse protected 
batteries, delivering up to 100 lifts per charge 
(200 lbs or 90 kg). 
 
Battery life is variable (2-3 years) and is 
influenced by proper charging practices and 
load exertion. 

Removable Battery Pack 

The removable battery pack reduces the time 
your lift is out of service because of a 
discharged battery.  
 
To remove discharged battery pack, use both 
hands, grasp the battery pack by the handles 
and at the same time, push the two latch 
buttons located on each side of the battery 
pack, and pull straight out towards you. 
Replace the pack with a fully charged one 
(second battery pack not included) from the 
wall mounted charging unit (not included). 
(Fig 11) 
 

 

Figure 11 

 

NOTE: to ensure long battery life charge for 
a minimum of 8 hours before using the lift 
for the first time.
 

 

Charging the Battery 

Plug the charger into a wall socket compatible 
with universal voltage input of 90 V up to 240 
V. (Fig. 12) 

 

 

 
 

Figure 12 

 

The charger has two LED indicators; yellow 
and green. Their significance is: 

 

 

Green light “ON” with no battery pack 
inserted: indicates the charger is on and 
ready for use. 

 

Green & Yellow light “ON”: indicates the 
battery pack is being charged.  

 

Green light “ON”/Yellow light “OFF” 
with battery pack inserted: indicates pack 
in the charger is fully charged and ready to 
use. (Fig. 13) 

 
 

Figure 13 

 

WARNING: DO NOT operate the charger with 
a damaged cord or if the unit’s housing has 
been damaged.  

 

DO NOT forcibly bend the power cord or 
place a heavy object on it. This will damage 
the cord and may cause a fire or electrical 
shock.
