WARNING: Empty a fully charged Battery for improved descending by running the Ascender unloaded for 2 minutes at full speed before the
operation.
4.5) Descending on A full battery
Whilst not recommended as a standard procedure, the ACX Ascender electronics and the BMS of the ACX Battery allow descent with a fully-charged
battery without the risk of overcharging and eventual damage.
While descending, the Ascender generates energy that is stored in the Battery as long as there is storage capacity. The Ascender electronics will, in
case of a fully charged Battery, regulate the speed automatically to prevent overcharging. On long descents with heavy loads it is likely that the speed
will be reduced substantially and the Ascender might eventually shut itself down temporarily.
NOTE: Do not descend on a fully charged Battery as a standard procedure.
4.6) Connecting and disconnecting the battery from the Ascender
4.6.1 Disconnecting the battery → Hold the Battery and slide the release catch upwards.
4.6.2 Release the Battery by pulling the Battery Strap with your finger or a Karabiner.
Connecting the Battery: Slide the Battery onto the Ascender and ensure that the Battery is locked. The Battery Lock must snap into its position (click).
