Warnings
All Li-Ion battery users must read these important battery safety instructions before using Li-Ion batteries. Failure to read and follow Li-Ion safety instructions
and warnings may lead to personal injury and equipment damage if the battery is charged and/or used improperly.
Lithium ion batteries differ from the lead acid technology as they have a built-in deep discharge protection.
• In case of continuous use despite warnings, a power loss might occur due to the battery deep discharge protection. In this event, there may be no
warning and the application may not be able to move when expected.
• The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended operations do not exceed the battery specification
limits. The risk analysis for the final application must allow for the ensurance of alternative means to make movement, for instance quick release or
manual lowering.
• 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’s manual for the medical device.
• Do not open, disassemble or modify the battery housing as cell or circuitry damage may develop excessive heat.
• Discontinue the battery use immediately if the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, shows signs of damage or corrosion
or appears abnormal in any other way.
• In case the battery turns hot, disconnect and remove the battery from the room. If not possible to remove the battery, then evacuate the room.
• Defective or damaged lithium ion batteries or batteries that produce excessive heat or fire are not allowed for transportation.
• For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging, storage, and operation temperature as extreme temperatures (low or high) might ignite the
batteries and cause fire.
• The mounting instructions must be followed in order to avoid exposing batteries to water.
• The customer is responsible for determining that charger and host device work properly.
• Recharge batteries every 12 months at a minimum.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
DO NOT:
- heat, burn or short circuit the batteries
- expose the batteries to high impact
- crush or puncture the batteries
- charge or store the batteries near combustible material
- charge the batteries without supervision
- expose the batteries to water or other liquids
Any of the above mentioned can cause fire or injury.
LINAK
®
will remedy defective Li-Ion batteries built into LINAK products in accordance with the terms stipulated in the LINAK Li-Ion battery disclaimer
available on the LINAK website. LINAK explicitly disclaims all other remedies and liability.
Compatibility
The BA21 has a built-in charger which means that it cannot operate with control boxes with charger, e.g. CB6 and similar. The BA21 is compatible
with CA30, CA40, CA63, CO41, CO53, CO61, CO65 and CO71.
Safety feature
BA21 Li-Ion contains several mechanisms to protect itself 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 has returned to normal
operating range. Overheating may occur by extensive use at high temperature or by exceeding the 1/19 duty cycle.
BA21 safety
LINAK Li-Ion batteries for medical use are designed and manufactured to be safe through the product life. LINAK has performed various tests of the
batteries in normal use, abuse and failure situations to verify the design and production methods. These tests have not shown any unacceptable risks.
The batteries are UL-tested to have an independent organisation verify the safety of the design and to obtain a safety certificate. This means that UL
regularly inspects the factory to check that standards are complied with.
UL has tested in accordance with the following standards:
UN38.3 Battery Transportation Safety
IEC62133 Battery Safety
UL2054 Standard for Household and Commercial Batteries
