-15PB series should be a BCI group 27 style battery
of the deep discharge type. It should have a minimum reserve capacity of 82 ampere-hour @
20 hour rate such (e.g. Dynasty DCS-88BT). Replacement batteries must be 12 volt, top lug
terminal, low maintenance, AGM type, and should have the highest reserve capacity available
and be rated for deep cycle discharge. O.S. Walker does not recommend the use of wet lead
acid batteries. After installing the battery Program Your Magnet reference page 18.
ADANGER
BATTERY GAS CAN EXPLODE. KEEP SPARKS
AND FLAMES AWAY FROM BATTERIES.

AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
Turn the built in charger on by connecting the control unit to the 115 VAC line using the line
cord shipped with your battery powered lift magnet. For the charger to operate, the magnet
must be turned off.
The battery charger is designed to monitor the battery voltage and current during the charging
cycle to prevent damage to the battery. The charger has the capacity to restore the charge to
a healthy battery during non-production shifts. Recharging the battery every night is recom
mended to increase battery life and maximize your magnet's operating time.
ADANGER
NEVER DISCONNECT THE MAGNET FROM ITS POWER SOURCE WHILE IT IS
ENERGIZED! ELECTRICAL ARCING WILL OCCUR AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY.
