After receiving the battery, check its state of charge by pressing and holding in the push-button on the
battery indicator. If the battery is in a low charge state, you must immediately charge to a full charge to
avoid discharging the battery below a usable state which would require battery replacement. Refer to
4-11-1 Battery Indicators and Controls
on page 4-18 for more information.
WARNING
The Charging Station and the charging contacts on both the Docking Target, and the
AMR can get hot during the operation. The operator must allow for cool down prior to
servicing.
Precautions for Safe Use
Avoid shorting the battery terminals or connectors.
Precautions for Correct Use
IATA regulations (UN 3480, PI 965) require that air freight shipped lithium ion batteries must be
transported at a state of charge not exceeding 30%. To avoid total discharge, fully charge the
battery immediately upon receipt. The battery might arrive fully charged if it is not shipped by air
freight.
Autonomous Charging
During normal operation, the AMR charges its battery autonomously by driving to the Docking Target
under configurable conditions (battery level and opportunities). The AMR drives to the location of the
Docking Target based on the map loaded onto the AMR and it uses this information to autonomously
recharge as configured.
When the AMR arrives near the Charging Station, it searches for a unique trapezoidal shape integrat-
ed into the front of the Docking Target. The AMR uses this shape to locate the position of the charging
paddle. After the Docking Target verifies that the AMR is present and connected, it performs a series
of checks. After the checks are complete and it determines charging can proceed, it starts charging
the AMR's internal battery.
There is a delay of up to 10 seconds between when an AMR docks and the yellow DC POWER LED
located on the Power Supply Box turns ON to indicate a charging state. Light discs will also indicate
charging. If the AMR has an E-STOP button depressed while charging, the light discs will display the
emergency stop light pattern. Refer to
4-18 Light Discs and Optional Beacon States
on page 4-36 for
more information.
If the battery level becomes too low, the AMR is immobilized and autonomous charging will not be
possible. If this occurs, the following user interaction is required.
• The AMR can be physically moved to the Docking Target. The AMR must be able to power ON to
resume charging once at the Docking Target. Refer to
and
on page 4-31 for more information.
• If the battery level is absolutely depleted and the AMR cannot turn ON and the brakes cannot be
released, the internal battery must be removed and charged while outside the AMR. Refer to
ing a Battery Outside of the AMR
on page 4-25 for more information.
If you move the AMR during the charging process, the charging will stop and re-docking is required to
resume.
