6.5 Battery Charging
Procedure
6.5.1 Electric-Powered
Tables
Control batteries* are recharged automatically when table is being used and do
not require additional charging.
Motor and control batteries* will require recharging on a periodic basis
depending on frequency of table usage. Low or discharged battery conditions
are indicated by LEDs on the hand control as explained in the Hand Control
Diagnostic Chart in
SECTION 7
.
Lead acid batteries last longer if NOT fully discharged. Therefore, to obtain the
longest life and capacity from your 3085 batteries, always connect AC power
cord to table base and plug into an appropriate AC receptacle as often as
possible, and as long as possible. If this is not always possible, recharge
batteries at the following times:
• When table is first put into service.
• Every two weeks when table is in normal service; more often if usage
demands.
• Whenever a low battery indicator LED is ON.
• If table remains in extended storage, batteries must be charged every six
months.
• It is not necessary to have hand control ON to charge batteries.
• On either electric-powered or battery-powered 3085 SP, power cord may be
left plugged into appropriate receptacle indefinitely. It will not harm table nor
table batteries.
NOTE: If batteries will not charge, refer to SECTION 7 for possible causes and
corrective actions.
Recharge batteries as follows:
1. Connect AC power cord to table base and plug into an appropriate AC
receptacle (see Figure 6-3).
