When should the batteries be charged? :
• Do not let the battery discharge to below 20 %.
• When the batteries are discharged to between 35 % and 80 % of their nominal capacity.
• If installing new batteries, recharge them after 3 or 4 hours of use 3 to 5 times
• After a long period of non-use.
• Never leave the batteries discharged.
• Do not put off recharging the batteries in cold weather as the electrolyte may freeze.
How to charge the batteries ? :
• Use the machine's on-board charger. The charger has a charge rate compatible to the battery capacity.
• Ensure that the mains supply is compatible to the charger's consumption.
• Top up the batteries with distilled water to the minimum electrolyte level if any of the elements are below this
minimum level.
• Work in a clean and well-ventilated area away from naked flames.
How to maintain battery autonomy ? :
• Do not charge the batteries in cold temperatures.
• The battery life is reduced when the machine is used in cold temperatures (< 0 °C(32 °F) ).
• If the machine is not going to be used for a length of time, shut-off the power with battery isolation switch.
• Do not let the battery discharge to below 20 %.
• If batteries are deeply discharged (<10%); standard battery charger may not be enough to recharge battery.
• Do not recharge the batteries if the temperature of the electrolyte exceeds 40 °C(104 °F) . Allow to cool
down.
• Keep the top of the batteries clean and dry. Incorrect connection or corrosion may cause a high loss of
power
• The charger settings are adjusted in the factory using its own cable. If the cable needs changing,
the HAULOTTE® factory must be contacted to obtain authorisation.
Before charging the batteries, switch the machine off.
