The above figure represents the battery capacity over time at 20°C at constant recharging and no consumption on the
battery.
Please be aware that the battery’s ability to retain 100% charge capacity will diminish over time, even if it is not being
used. This will be evident after three or more years, where the battery will only be able to retain between 80 and 100% of
its full capacity.
If the battery is used at a higher temperature than 20°C, the curve, representing the capacity of the battery over the time,
is expected to fall even more.
WARNING:
Because of the self-discharge, you cannot expect the batteries to be fully charged when they leave
the factory. LINAK recommends that the customer charges the batteries immediately upon receipt or, at the
latest, 5 months after LINAK’s production date. The earlier the batteries are charged, the greater the chance of a
longer battery life. The mentioned charging should last min. 24 - 48 hours and longer if possible.
Charging current:
Typical rule:
Maximum charging current = 0.25 x battery capacity (Ah)
BAJ1/2 JUMBO:
0.25 x 2.9 = 0.7A
BA1800:
0.25 x 1.2 = 0.3A
Charging voltage:
24V system:
Maximum 27.60V
