Lead acid batteries
Maintenance of batteries
Prior to first use of LINAK
®
batteries, please make sure that they are charged at least 24 hours and if possible even longer for proper functioning and
prolonging the battery lifetime.
Warnings
• Please observe the following maintenance, replacement, and disposal requirements to ensure a safe and reliable operation.
• The batteries are to be replaced after 4 years at the latest. Perhaps earlier, depending on the pattern of use. Frequent and high-powered discharges
reduce the battery life. For an optimum lifetime, the product must be connected to the mains voltage as often as possible. It is recommended that the
batteries are to be charged for at least every 6 months - otherwise the batteries will have reduced capacity due to self-discharge. It is recommended to
test the battery function at least once every year.
Replacement of batteries
The batteries must only be replaced by the same type of batteries or mechanical and electrical equivalent types. The batteries must be new or maintained
by means of charging at least every 6 months. The batteries, which make a set, must be supplied with identical production codes.
Production code mismatch may lead to a severely reduced lifetime expectancy.
Before mounting, ensure that the battery set is correctly connected, compare with the drawing in the battery room and check that no connectors are
loose.
Warnings
• The battery compartment is hermetically separated from the electronics compartment. When replacing the batteries this separation must not be
damaged or modified as this may allow penetration of battery gas into the electronics compartment with risk of explosion.
• When replacing batteries in waterproof products (IPX5 and IPX6), precautions must be taken that the sealing material (silicone ring or joint filler)
is not damaged and that it is correctly placed in the groove. Hereafter, the screws in the cover are to be fastened with approx. 1 Nm.
If necessary, replacement sealing is available at LINAK.
Disposal
Lead acid batteries must be disposed of in the same way as car batteries. Alternatively, they may be returned to LINAK.
Warnings
• The battery compartment is supplied with ventilation that ensures correct and necessary airing of the battery compartment. This airing must not be
blocked or covered as a positive pressure may occur with risk of explosion.
• If the product has been exposed to mechanical overload (lost on the floor, collision/squeezing in the application or a powerful stroke), the product
must be sent to an authorised workshop for control of the hermetic separation between the battery and electronics compartment.
