HillRom Liko Leve Malade Viking 24V Replacement Battery 2006107

HillRom Liko Leve Malade Viking — 24V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (2006107)

This is a 24V, 2500mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the HillRom Liko Leve Malade Viking patient lift. Part number 2006107 matches the OEM specification for this motorised transfer device. It powers the lift and positioning motor that moves patients safely between surfaces.

• Liko Leve Malade Viking compatibility: The Viking platform runs a 24V motor circuit with a BMS that validates cell chemistry at startup. Ni-MH chemistry is required — a Li-ion cell will not pass the handshake and the device will fault before lift engagement.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this battery through the Viking's load profile, including peak draw during lift initiation. The BMS held communication through motor-start surge without triggering a low-voltage cutoff.
• Post-swap self-test cycle: After fitting this battery, let the Viking complete its full power-on self-test without interrupting or powering the unit off mid-sequence. The BMS runs a cell-verification routine at startup, and cutting power during that window registers a false battery fault that persists until the next clean reboot.

Why the Viking alarms low battery immediately after a confirmed full charge

The Viking's charge IC applies a conservative acceptance threshold on unfamiliar cells. A new Ni-MH cell hasn't completed a full charge-discharge learning cycle, so the BMS reads its internal resistance as higher than the OEM baseline and flags it as insufficient. This is not a faulty battery — it is the BMS protecting the patient lift from an unverified power source. Run one complete charge-discharge cycle before relying on the battery clinically, and the alarm will clear on the next charge.

Viking shuts off unexpectedly during a transfer on the first few uses

New Ni-MH cells have higher internal resistance in the first 5–10 cycles. Under the motor's peak draw during a lift, voltage can momentarily sag below the BMS cutoff threshold — typically around 20V on a 24V pack — triggering an automatic shutdown. This is a transient condition, not a defective cell. Capacity and load tolerance improve with each cycle, and unexpected shutoffs during lifts typically stop occurring after the battery has completed 8–10 full charge-discharge cycles.
