guidelines below for optimal lifetime and performance:
»
Battery can stay connected to ACX during transport or short
term storage (1 week). For longer storage, disconnect the
battery and do a maintenance charge every 3 months
»
Always charge batteries as soon as possible after use
»
Disconnect batteries from the charger after charging
»
Always store batteries fully charged
»

DANGER
Not following instructions may result in
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
Note – Battery lifetime
Under normal service conditions it is expected
that the Battery will last 3-5 years or around
approximately 500 charging cycles. Lifetime
is dependent on how much load is lifted and
the operational temperatures.
Lifting distances
Lifting distances with battery powered ACX with 100 kg (220 lb),
150 kg (330 lb) and 200 kg (440 lb) at different temperatures.
