FAULT / ERROR

SOLUTION

The charger doesn’t appear to be 
recharging the battery.

The charger lights are on (amber and green alternate flashing) but the 
capacity display on the battery pack shows no energy going in to recharge 
the battery. The most likely cause is the battery is too hot, this can be 
due to high ambient temperatures or from just trying to recharge the unit 
straight after heavy use when in high ambient temperatures. To rectify, 
move unit to a cooler location or allow unit to cool and the system will 
automatically start charging once temperatures around the battery have 
fallen to below 40ºC. As temperature has a huge affect on the continued 
performance, safety and longevity of the Lithium batteries contained 
within your eLumen8 BG615 there are numerous protection systems 
incorporated within the unit to make sure of its long and trouble free use.

5d) PACKING AWAY & TRANSPORT

In slippery or uneven terrain take care when carrying the eLumen8 BG615 seek help as required.

TRANSPORT AND LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS

•  The transport vehicle/trolley must be parked on a level surface.
•  The transport vehicle/trolley must be secured to prevent rolling while the eLumen8 

BG615 is being loaded.

•  Be sure the vehicle/trolley capacity, loading surfaces/storage area and chains or 

straps are sufficient to withstand the eLumen8 BG615 weight. See the data plate on 
the eLumen8 BG615 components for their exact weight.

•  The eLumen8 BG615 must be secured when transported in any vehicles with straps 

of ample load capacity.

•  The eLumen8 BG615 Must NOT be transported within the passenger area of 

any vehicle.

•  Observe the specific transport requirements and check the MSDS (Material Safety 

Data Sheet) when transporting the product by vehicle. This is available online at 
the following link: http://www.prolight.co.uk/ftp-in/ELUM605_SafetyData.pdf or by

5e) STORAGE / TRANSPORT MODE

When planning to not use the eLumen8 BG615 make sure it is fully charged and the 
power button is switched off so the unit doesn’t discharge unnecessarily in storage.
Check the unit every three months for its state of charge and recharge as required.
