Charging An Emergency Battery; Battery Maintanance - Invacare Robin User Manual

Note! It is not possible to use the hoist whilst charging the battery.
If the sound indicator of the Robin beeps, and the blue function lights flash after Robin that has been fully charged
and has been in use for only a short period of time, the battery may be ready to be replaced by a new one. See
section »7.2 Battery«. Another possible option could be that the battery needs to be excercised. See section
»3.6 Battery maintanance«.
3.5 Charging an emergency battery
The emergency battery package is charged by placing the plug in the charger socket. A special adapter is necessary.
The LED light turns green to indicate the unit is fully charged (appox. charging time 2 hours).
3.6 Battery maintanance
If the sound indicator of the Robin beeps, and the blue function lights flashes after the hoist has been fully
TM
charged and has been in use for only a short period of time, the battery might need to be exercised.
To enable the battery to be charged fully, it is neccessary to exercise the battery from time to time.
Following a long period of storage, it could be neccessery to exercised the battery.
It is also suggested that the battery is exercised in situations where Robin Mover is used infrequently, and/or
TM
where the hand control is placed in the charger for long periods of time. In this situation, there will always be
capacity enough for a few lifts, but we recommend to exercise the battery as soon as possible afterwards.
Exercise of the battery can be done by charging and discharging Robin completely several times.
TM
This is done by charging the battery until the light indicator turns green. The hand control is then removed from
the charger, and the straps with load are lowered and raised for one minute, with a 10 minutes break, continuing
this procedure until the battery is completely discharged (continue even when the sound signal for low power
beeps and the blue light flashes). Charge the battery and lower and raise the straps until the battery is decharged
again. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times.
