Alternatively, you can reduce the excessive charge state
for partial charging by running the SEABOB to empty in
a controlled fashion. Operate the SEABOB (while in the
water) until only 1 bar is left showing in the battery sym-
bol in the display. Switch off the motor so that there is
no load, and check the display again. After the motor is
switched off, the battery voltage is regenerated slightly,
so you should wait a few minutes before checking the
display. If only 1 bar is still displayed, charge the SEABOB
as specified to the charge state "Air Transport / Storage"
("charge 50 %"). When the airplane symbol appears,
the correct voltage for air transport / transport has been
reached ("complete").
Never run the motor out of the water
for longer than approx. 10 seconds to discharge the
SEABOB. The seals of the motor and the hard-coated mo-
tor shaft are designed exclusively for use in the water.
Operation out of the water can lead to overheating due
to the lack of water to cool the device, thereby causing
irreparable damage to the seals and motor shaft. Danger
of short circuit!
Tip:
If the charger is disconnected from the device when
programmed to partial charging, the SEABOB switches
to the Off mode after 5 seconds (system check). The
SEABOB can only be switched back on from the Off mode
using a connected and active charger.
After transporting the device, charge the SEABOB imme-
diately (within 1 week) either for operation of the craft
or for storage by means of trickle-charge (the charger
remains connected; the airplane symbol appears on the
display).
When transporting Lithium-Ion batteries, always observe
the applicable safety regulations and the specific regula-
tions of the carrier. Be aware that safety regulations can
change from time to time. For up-to-date information,
please contact the manufacturer or your specialist dealer.
5. Tap the green button to select partial charging of the
SEABOB for air transport / transport. A partially filled
charge symbol will appear in the center of the display
with an arrow to indicate partial charging ("charge
50 %").
6. When the airplane symbol appears in the center of the
display, charging is complete and the correct charge
state for air transport / transport has been reached
("complete").
7. To save energy and to reduce maintenance charging,
the display turns itself off automatically 10 minutes
after charging is completed ("complete"). By pressing
any button, the display can be switched on again (for
another 10 minutes).
8. Disconnect the charger from the SEABOB (first pull
the power plug from the outlet, then disconnect the
connector from the connection port of the SEABOB).
The charger and connector can get hot
while charging. After you have finished charging, let the
charger and connector cool down before you touch them
to avoid injury.
Battery charge state is too high:
The charging process is controlled automatically by the
charger and battery management system. If the battery
voltage is too low, the charger automatically recharges
until the correct partial charge state has been reached
("charge 50 %") and then stops the charging process.
You will recognize this process on the display by the first
bars beginning to appear in the battery symbol until the
airplane symbol appears ("complete").
If the battery voltage is too high for extended transport
/ air transport, the charger automatically discharges
until the correct partial charge state has been reached
("charge 50 %") and then stops the charging process.
You will recognize this process on the display by the bars
beginning to disappear in the battery symbol until the
aircraft symbol appears ("complete").
Tip:
The discharge process can take up to 24 hours. Al-
low enough time to discharge before travel.
