Emergency Battery Backup
In case of power failure the emergency battery backup will operate the bed. Use only in
emergency situations, the battery backup is not designed for continuous use. The battery will
recharge itself while the bed is plugged into a hospital grade or grounded outlet.
This bed is equipped with two 5 amp 12V sealed lead-acid (gel) batteries (total 24V). New
batteries, or batteries stored for a long time, may take more time to charge. Keep the battery near
room temperature when charging.
