5  Charging the battery 

 

The  battery-cells  within  the  battery  housing  are  maintenance-free,  sealed  and 
rechargeable.  Their  durability  largely  depends  on  the  charge/discharge  cycles.  It  is 
possible for instance to extract far more than 1,000 partial discharges from lead-acid 
batteries if total discharge is avoided. 

  For this reason avoid total discharge. Recharge as often as possible. 

  Lead-

acid  batteries  are  subjected  to  ‘self-discharge’.  For  this  reason  the  snap-on 

battery should be recharged after a maximum of three weeks of disuse. 

  The charger automatically switches to trickle charging so overcharging is not possible. 

  Do  not  leave  the  battery  discharged  or  half  discharged.  Always  charge  immediately 

after use. 

  If the batteries should  become damaged it is possible to have them replaced in  any 

reputable  mechanical  workshop.  The  old  lead  batteries  are  fully  recyclable  and  are 
not to be disposed of. 

  The  optimum  temperature  for  charging  is  20 

–  25  °C.  Too  cold  or  too  warm  has  a 

negative effect on the capacity. 

If  the  battery  has  not  been  fully  charged  or  tends  to  lose  charge  too  rapidly, 
this  will  not  only  reduce  the  speed  of  the  LIFTKAR  but  also  reduce  the 
capacity. It may move into the overload mode as a result, even with light loads. 
See Operation [4.3.3]
