Care of the Battery Pack
Battery Testing
1. Connect SKC approved charger to battery pack. If charger indicator LED illuminates, battery pack charger
input is ok. If charger LED does not illuminate, battery pack input fuse is blown - Replace battery pack.
2. Leave battery pack connected to charger to fully charge.
3. If pump does not function at all after full charge of battery pack, battery pack output fuse has blown, or
battery cells have failed or are at end of life - Replace battery pack.
4. If pump functions after full charge of battery pack but gives significantly reduced run times before low
battery shutdown, battery cells are failing or are at end of life - Replace battery pack.
Battery Replacement
Refer to pump diagram on page 8. To remove the battery pack unscrew and withdraw the two locking screws
(No. 10). Ensure that the screws are fully withdrawn, to a point where they are hanging freely below the case
by approximately 25 mm. The screws are designed to be retained, to prevent loss.
Once the screws are unfastened press both of the release buttons (No. 11) inwards and pull the battery pack
(No. 7) away from the pump unit (No. 12). To fit the replacement battery pack, engage the ends of the pump
unit battery release buttons into the holes in the top of the battery pack and push home, making sure both
release buttons are fully engaged. Refasten the two locking screws.
Battery Disposal
• The EC Battery Directive and equivalent legislation in other countries requires that all batteries and battery
packs are disposed of correctly at the end of their working life. This means that they must be collected and
treated separately from other waste.
• Please ensure that any end-of-life SKC battery packs are collected and recycled or disposed of correctly.
