5.4.9 Bat. Maintenance
Battery Maintenance is a multiple menu selection. It can provide valuable information on the
charging maintenance habits of the customer as well as to help in identifying a faulty power
pack.
Last Battery Voltage – this selection will tell you the last measured voltage of the power
pack. This number is updated frequently when in charging mode and in automatic operation
mode. If the mower is allowed to enter deep sleep mode, the last recorded voltage prior to
deep sleep will be recorded here. This can be useful in determining charger operation by
viewing the voltage over time. Additionally, it can be used to view voltage over time while in
operation to understand a discharge rate to determine power pack condition.
Warning Ignored – the energy management system of the mower will issue audible and text
messaging alerts to the user to prompt them to connect the mower to the charger when not in
use (if the customer has failed to do so). The warnings vary in frequency of time and loudness,
depending on the time disconnected from the charger. This warning system will function for
approximately 48 hours before shutting down and entering a deep sleep mode for energy
conservation. This selection indicates how many times the customer has ignored the
alert system and allowed the mower to enter the deep sleep mode. This can indicate poor
maintenance by the customer and could cause diminished power pack performance and
service life. While any number here is cause for concern and illustrates the need to educate the
user on proper maintenance, a count of more than 2 or more is serious and can damage the
power pack.
Poor Storage – poor storage counter indicates how many times the mower was put into
operation where the power pack capacity was less than 80% of fully charged. This essentially
indicates how often the mower was used prior to the power pack being fully charged, where
the count will not start until there is a 20% capacity loss from fully charged. The 20% criteria
is important, as many people will use the mower is several smaller areas in addition to one
large area. A smaller area will discharge the power pack, but not to the 20% level, so we do
not want to count these types of operations. A high count here, greater than 3 or 4 indicates
the user is not allowing enough time for the power pack to fully charge. If they indicate they
must do this in order to mow all of their lawn (unclear), it is suggested they purchase an
additional power pack and external charger.
Lastly, if the voltage of a power pack when inserted is less than 90% of the last measured
voltage, it indicates the user is not fully charging the power pack prior to off-season storage,
which is critical for good service life.
Reset – allows for resetting of all the listed battery parameters back to zero when a new power
pack has been put in service or possibly if a service repair was done which may have affected
the counters.
