Boxfish ROV Owner’s Manual

 

V1.3. All rights reserved. Information and specifications may change at any time without notice.                                  

p64 

 

Prepare batteries for shipping 

Note

: discharging a full battery module will take some time, so plan ahead if you 

have to travel. It may be better to run the ROV until the batteries are closer to 
20-30% (between 14.8 and 14.9V).  

 

Failure to charge/discharge the battery to a safe voltage of 14.8V and 14.9V 
will reduce battery life and could violate safe shipping requirements.  

 

Allow at least a day to discharge the ROV battery for shipping, although if 
the battery is already low it will take less time to discharge.  

 

Before shipping, refer to the latest IATA requirements as these change from 
time to time. Contact us at Boxfish if you need assistance: 
(

https://www.iata.org/en/programs/cargo/dgr/lithium-batteries/

).  

 

 

ROV and accessories should be clean and dry and be packed with original 
protective inserts and protective packing where needed to keep equipment 
from being damaged during shipping. 

 

Release any vacuum in the ROV before packing and shipping. The ROV 
should not be shipped with vacuum applied as this could violate safe 
shipping requirements. 

 

Procedure for preparing ROV batteries for shipping 

 

Follow steps 1-8 from 

Section 15.2: Battery charging procedure

, except you 

don’t need to connect the cell balancing cable to the ROV. 

 

Configure settings on charger: Set Cell Voltage to 3.72V (so that the total 
voltage for 4 cells is around 14.9V) and set the 

Task

 to 

Storage

. 

i.

 

From the Main Menu, select Task, 
then select ‘Storage’. 

 

ii.

 

Select ‘Cells Voltage’ from Main 
Menu. Scroll through available 
voltages and select 3.72V.
