Charging The Quick-Change Battery Pack - Magliner HD Series Operator's Manual

6. Charging the quick-change battery pack

The lead gel cells inside the battery pack are maintenance-free, gas-tight and
rechargeable. Their service life depends largely on the charging/discharging cycles.
For example, it is possible to partially discharge lead batteries 1000 times, drawing
more than 200 times the full capacity of the battery, providing the battery is never fully
discharged.
 Avoid discharging the battery completely. Charge the battery pack as often as
possible.
 Lead batteries are susceptible to self-discharging. It is therefore necessary to
recharge the quick-change battery pack after 3 weeks, even if it has not been in use.
 The charger unit supplied switches over automatically to compensation charging so it
is not possible to over-charge the battery.
 Do not leave the quick-change battery pack discharged or half discharged. Always
recharge the battery immediately.
 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 ideal temperature for charging is between 68 and 77° F. Temperatures that are
too cold or too hot will affect the battery's capacity.
If the battery pack is not fully charged, or it loses its charge suddenly, not only
will the speed of the HD Powered Stair Climbing Hand Truck be slower, but its
capacity is reduced as well. This means that overload may be displayed even
with a relatively light load. See Operation [4.2.1]
