LiteWare HO

2. Charging the system

There are two charging methods available for LiteWare HO.

• flight case charger system

• single unit charger

Both charger options are designed specifically for LiteWare HO. Please DO NOT use any other charging

system as this can damage the battery base unit. The charging cycle is approximately 8 hours.

2.1 Flight case charger system

1 Ensure that the flight case is plugged into a mains supply with the supplied mains lead.

2 Place the LiteWare HO into the flight case. The battery base unit starts charging. During

charging, the button LED is on constantly. The battery is fully charged when the button LED

flashes. LiteWare HO is now ready for use.

Upon disconnecting mains power to the flight case, all charged battery base units continue to flash the

button LED. This is normal. To switch this flashing button LED off, briefly lift the battery base unit out

of the case and replace.

2.2 Single unit charger

Plug the supplied charger into the base of the battery base unit. During charging, the button LED is on

constantly. The battery base unit is fully charged when the button LED flashes.

Note: If you leave the LiteWare HO connected to the single charger without the charger connected to

mains power the battery will flatten.

2.3 Low battery

When the battery voltage becomes too low, the battery base unit goes to sleep and the TOP button

LED flashes every few seconds. You must recharge the battery base unit before you can use it again.

2.4 Battery care

The LiteWare HO uplighter contains a sealed lead-acid battery. The battery should not be left in a

discharged state for long periods because this will reduce its capacity. We recommend leaving

LiteWare HO on charge permanently when not in use.

Note: If you remove the battery, please observe the correct polarity upon reconnection.

The following points should help maintain the long life of your LiteWare battery:

• When in use, LiteWare automatically switches off when the battery voltage reaches a set lower

limit. This is to avoid any deep discharge damage of the battery. It is not recommended that

LiteWare batteries be left for any prolonged period in this state.

• LiteWare should always be fully re-charged as soon as possible. Once fully charged LiteWare

can be stored.

• If LiteWare is to be unused for long periods, we recommend LiteWare is charged every two

months to keep the batteries topped up.

• If LiteWare is stored in hotter environments (above 20 degrees), we recommend a monthly

storage charge.

• From market data, the estimated number of uses in a normal environment is around 200 cycles.

This may be higher if LiteWare is not run to ‘turning off automatically’ every time. We

recommend replacing LiteWare battery every two years.
