4.4 Battery

The crane scale comes with a usual 6 V / 7 Ah lead-acid battery, which can be replaced if it breaks down. When fully loaded, the crane scale can be operated for ca. 50 hours.

If the display of the scale begins to blink, it means that the battery voltage is low. In this case, please recharge the battery. If the battery is not recharged, the scale automatically shuts down after 1-2 hours. If this happens, recharge the battery before the next usage.

To charge the battery, use the charging adaptor (9 V DC / 1000 mA), which is included in the package. Turn the crane scale off and plug in the charging adaptor. The charging indication glows orange during charging. If the battery is fully loaded, the charging indication turns green.

If the battery voltage is low, the battery should be charged for at least 8 hours. An integrated overcharge protection prevents the battery from taking damage, if it is connected to the adaptor for too long.
