Warnings
When using Li-Ion batteries with patient lift control boxes, loss of power might happen due to the
battery deep discharge protection. This will only happen in case of continuous battery use despite
warnings. In this event, there may be no warning, and the application may not be able to move when
expected.
In his risk analysis, the customer must take into consideration how to assure alternative means to
make movement, for instance quick release or manual lowering.
Do not open the battery housing as damaging the cell or circuitry may develop excessive heat.
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 manual for the medical device.
The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended
operations do not exceed the battery specification limits.
Defective or damaged Li-Ion batteries are not allowed for transportation.
For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging and operation temperature.
In case the battery is too hot, disconnect it, evacuate the room, and wait for 2 hours before taking
further steps.
Mounting instructions must be followed in order to avoid exposing batteries to water.
In general, recharging of battery must take place every 6 months. However, please note:
- New Li-Ion batteries, shipped from LINAK are in a deep-sleep state, where the self-discharge is very
little
- When mounted in an application, LINAK Li-Ion batteries wake up, resulting in a higher rate of
charge, depending on the application/system
- Application manufacturer must consider this idle consumption for his specific system and make
precautions to avoid discharged batteries.
- Contact your LINAK sales team for further information
If batteries are to be shipped by air, they shall not be charged to more than 30%
Disposal of the battery takes place in accordance with local regulations.
