By upgrading your mobile hoists with the Generation 2 Li-ion system, healthcare professionals and home caregivers alike can experience a hassle-free, more reliable daily lifting routine. This battery has been optimized to handle complex multi-patient transfers with complete confidence, reducing the classic anxiety associated with sudden power drops mid-shift.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Massive Lift Capacity Boost
Offers up to 3.2 times the number of lifts on a single charge compared to its predecessor. This outstanding capacity expansion guarantees absolute peace of mind during long, demanding shifts, allowing staff to focus on patient care rather than constantly checking charge levels.
-
Featherweight Ergonomics
Weighing in at a mere 0.9 kg (1.9 lbs), the physical footprint of the battery has been minimized. This lightweight layout dramatically reduces physical strain on caregivers when swapping out depleted packs and helps maintain the overall lightweight, travel-friendly portability of your mobile hoists.
-
Rapid-Response Charging
Designed to spend less time on the wall and more time active on the ward. The power pack reaches a full 100% charge in just 3.5 hours, allowing a dual-battery setup to run indefinitely on a quick, rotating basis.
-
Built to Last
Engineered for high-frequency clinical and residential use, this battery is constructed to endure up to 1,700 charging cycles without suffering from significant capacity degradation. This longevity results in a much lower cost of ownership and fewer battery replacements over the lifetime of the hoist.
-
Washable & Waterproof (IPX6)
Infection control is paramount in any modern care setting. This battery features a completely sealed, robust structural design rated at IPX6, making it perfectly safe to wipe down, sanitize, and deep clean with common hospital-grade disinfectants without risking internal water damage.
-
Extended Shelf Life
Unlike older battery technologies that lose their charge and degrade when left idle, the Gen 2 battery has an extended shelf life. It does not require a full, mandatory recharge every third month during storage to preserve its chemical health, making it ideal for backup storage.
Smart Fleet Integration
One of the greatest operational strengths of the Generation 2 battery is its complete interchangeability. It is designed to fit across the entire range of Generation 2 Molift mobile hoists, including the travel-friendly Molift Smart 150, and the heavy-duty Mover 180, Mover 205, and Mover 300 models. This cross-compatibility makes managing an entire facility's fleet remarkably straightforward, as a single pool of backup batteries can easily service various hoist units across different wards.
By standardizing your facility on the Gen 2 platform, you streamline caregiver training, reduce storage footprint, and optimize your overall accessory inventory. It is a smart, future-proof investment that protects both your capital budget and the safety of the patients in your daily care.
Important Charger Note
This power pack does not include the charger. Because of the upgrade to advanced Li-ion chemistry, it must be charged exclusively using the Molift Generation 2 Battery Charger. Older metal, legacy, or first-generation "black-top" and "green-top" chargers are not compatible and should never be used with this battery.
Caregiver Maintenance Pro-Tip
To maximize the service lifespan and retain optimal charge capacity of your battery, Molift recommends fully discharging the battery pack at least once every two months, followed immediately by a full, uninterrupted charge. This best practice prevents battery conditioning issues and guarantees peak performance when you need it most.
