Lithium ion batteries
Warnings
• When using Li-Ion batteries with patient lift control boxes, loss of power might happen due to the battery deep discharge protection . This will only
happen in case of continuous battery use despite warnings . In this event, there may be no warning, and the application may not be able to move
when expected .
• In his risk analysis, the customer must take into consideration how to assure alternative means to make movement, for instance quick release or
manual lowering .
• Do not open the battery housing as damaging the cell or circuitry may develop excessive heat .
• If product caution is not clearly visible at low light intensity, read the product label instructions symbol . A warning must be included in the application
manufacturer manual for the medical device .
• The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended operations do not exceed the battery specification
limits .
• Defective or damaged Li-Ion batteries are not allowed for transportation .
• For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging and operation temperature .
• In case the battery is too hot, disconnect it, evacuate the room, and wait for 2 hours before taking further steps .
• Mounting instructions must be followed in order to avoid exposing batteries to water .
• In general, recharging of battery must take place every 6 months . However, please note:
- New Li-Ion batteries, shipped from LINAK are in a deep-sleep state, where the self-discharge is very little .
- When mounted in an application, LINAK Li-Ion batteries wake up, resulting in a higher rate of discharge, depending on the application/system .
Application manufacturer must consider this idle consumption for his specific system and make precautions to avoid discharged batteries .
- Contact your LINAK sales team for further information .

Safety feature
Lithium ion batteries contain several mechanisms to protect themselves from being damaged due to excessive use . In case of overheating, the device
will activate a thermal protection . No power output will be available until the temperature is again within normal operating range .
Overheating may occur by extensive use at high temperatures or when exceeding the duty cycle . (see product label)
