Warnings:
Lithium ion batteries differ from the lead acid technology as they have a built-in deep discharge protection.
• Loss of power might happen due to the battery deep discharge protection and will only happen in case of continuous use of the battery despite
warnings. In this event, there may be no warning and the application may not be able to move when expected.
• In the risk analysis for the final application, the manufacturer must take into consideration how to ensure alternative means to make movement,
e.g. quick release or manual lowering.
• Do not open the battery housing as damaging the cell or circuitry may develop excessive heat.
• Lithium ion batteries that are defective, have been damaged or might produce excessive heat or fire are not allowed for transportation.
(contact your local transportation provider)
• 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.
• For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging and operation temperature.
• In case the battery turns hot, disconnect it and evacuate the room and wait for 2 hours before taking further steps.
• Follow the mounting instructions in order to avoid exposing batteries to water.
• Recharge batteries every 12 months at a minimum.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
• The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended operations do not exceed the battery
specification limits. The application manufacturer must assure other means of movement, e.g. quick release or manual lowering..
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 COxx and CAxx control boxes, e.g. CO61 and CA40, etc.
DO NOT:
• heat or burn the battery
• short circuit the battery
• expose the battery to high impact
• crush or puncture the battery
• use batteries with signs of damage or corrosion
• charge or store the battery near combustible material
• expose the battery to water or other liquids
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
