5. Batteries & Charging
Battery Information WARNING
DO NOT drop the lift unit. A lift unit that has been dropped may have sustained internal damage that is not visible externally. It may lose its ability to recharge. As a result of internal damage caused when a battery is dropped, the battery charge status indicator may indicate that the battery is fully charged when it actually cannot retain a full charge.
NOTE: After taking delivery of the Oxford Elara lift unit, the batteries should be charged for a minimum period of 8 hours prior to initial use.
Battery Shelf Life
The storage or shelf life of a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery is usually between 12 and 18 months at 20°C starting from a charged condition.
WARNING
NEVER store in a discharged or partially discharged state. Always store in a dry, clean, cool environment and keep fully packaged. If storage of 12 months or longer is required, supplementary charging will be required.
Total Battery Capacity
· 24Vdc – 2.3Ah.
· Provides up to 10 transfers of 227kg from fully charged batteries in the middle 600mm lift zone.
Life cycle of the batteries (number of charging cycles) is mainly dependant on the intensity of discharge in each cycle. The more the battery is discharged, the shorter the life span. The life cycle of the batteries is also related to factors including varying temperatures and rest periods between charge and discharge.
Number of Recharges vs. Depth of Discharge
Batteries should be kept in a fully charged state where possible. Deep discharging on a regular basis without immediate recharge has a detrimental effect on battery life. To prolong the life of your batteries ALWAYS leave them in a fully charged state ready for the next use of your ceiling lift.
NOTE: For installations fitted with an end of rail charge station, battery life will be prolonged by returning the lift to its charge station when not in use. The batteries WILL NOT overcharge.
Joerns Healthcare uses rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid in its ceiling lifts. In contrast to nickelcadmium batteries, Sealed Lead Acid batteries are not affected by `memory effect’ and therefore, do not require completely discharging prior to recharging.

CAUTION
DO NOT drain the batteries excessively. This will dramatically reduce the expected battery life span.
If the lift is not being used for extended periods of time and consequently not being charged, then the lift should be switched off using the on/off switch on the underside of the lift.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in the batteries being completely discharged and possibly damaged within 48 hours.
If the audible low battery charge signal sounds and the battery charge indicator flashes red, the batteries should be charged without delay.
NOTE: The lift may NOT function until the batteries have been recharged.

Charging the Batteries
WARNING
· If the battery charger power lead is damaged or the ceiling lift has been dropped, DO NOT attempt to charge the batteries.
· DO NOT forcibly bend the power lead or place heavy objects on it as this may damage the lead and cause fire or electric shock.
· DO NOT pour liquid on or near the charger.
NOTE: Do not place the ceiling lift unit in locations that are:
· Extremely hot · Dusty or dirty · Very humid/condensing humidity · Moving or vibrating
