How do I charge the battery on my Precor eliptical 546i

We are FIXYA dot com. We are not Precor and we certainly don't take credit card numbers. By 'charging bat', you mean battery for the display. The battery is mentioned 67 times in the manual. Press CTRL+F and type in 'battery'. Page 39 and 40, looks to be what you need.

It might be the battery. A fully charged battery is required to move the ramp up and down. The battery is like a car battery, if you don't use it then it dies and might need to be replaced.

The battery is usually located at the back of the machine towards the top -- there may be a circuit board on top of the battery. And the second link listed below is a technical bulletin for certain models to help prevent damage to the battery during installation.

I would definitely check the battery first. The battery may not have enough charge to power everything plus the lift motor.

Precor Error 45, Lift Moving in Wrong Direction Probable Cause 1. Lift motor hysteresis.
2. Lower PCA is bad.
Corrective Action 1. The error would usually occur when the lift was already in motion (usually downward) when a lift command in the opposite direction (upward) was made. Some lift motors used in production exhibited a very long turnaround time and the lift motor would still be moving in the original commanded direction while the control system was trying to move the lift in the opposite commanded direction. If the error continues to re-occur, replace the lift motor.
2. It is a rare condition, however if the lift moves in the opposite direction commanded, replace the lower PCA.

The ramp system has a battery monitoring system. If the battery voltage falls below 11 Vdc when the ramp movement is initiated or the battery voltage falls below 10 Vdc after ramp movement has been initiated, ramp movement will be stopped and gives that error message. The ramp will not be enabled until such time as the battery voltage exceeds the above limits. The battery voltage must be raised to be to correct this problem either by charging or replacing the battery.
