Battery life depends on many factors: frequency
of use, frequency of charging, temperature of
operation, storage and storage time.
Make sure to have a replacement battery ready
when needed. Have the facility department keep
one in stock.
The battery included in the Voyager is 24 VDC, 2.0
Ah and rechargeable. It provides 10 to 30 transfers
per battery charge.
NOTE: To prolong battery life, put the battery
on charger station whenever the portable
lift is not in use. If the low battery indicator
beeps, make sure to recharge the batteries
as soon as possible. This will extend their
life.
NOTE: Arjo uses sealed lead-acid batteries.
These ones are not affected by any memory
effect. Therefore, they should not be
completely drained before recharging.
Charging the Battery
WARNING: Do not operate the charger with a
damaged cord or if the lift has been dropped
or damaged.
Do not bend the power cord by force, or place
a heavy object on it. This will damage the

NOTE: To avoid dropping the battery, keep
your hand near the battery opening when

recharging.
The battery can be left in the charger for an
extended period of time without damaging either
the charger or the battery.
If the green light does not go on when the charger
is plugged into an electrical outlet, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
CAUTION: The lift should not remain stored
for long periods of time without charging
the batteries. These should be recharged
at least every two weeks to maximize their
lifespan.
