Keep Batteries at Room Temperature:
That means storing between 32 and 80 degrees F (00C to 270C). The worst thing that can happen to a lithi-
um-ion Battery is to have it exposed to elevated temperatures.
Batteries Lose Capacity Over Time:
Batteries naturally deteriorate over time whether being used or not. Batteries deteriorate at a rate of 10% run
time per year.
Fully Discharge vs. Partial Discharge and the Effect on Battery Cycles:
Unlike lead acid batteries typically used in auto scrubber, the Kaivac Battery
is not damaged by fully discharging. The BMS (Battery Management System) has a cutoff voltage of 30V which protects the Battery from experi-
encing full discharge. Running the Battery to full discharge will reduce the amount of charge cycles. The expected hours of use are approximately
600 hours. For example, if running to full discharge, you would expect 400 cycles. If you run to 80% discharge, then you would expect to get more
cycles (500 cycles).
Extended Storage:
It is recommended to discharge to 40% capacity (35V) and store in a cool location (between 320F to 800F or 00C to 270C).
Hour
Battery Gauge:
The Kaivac Batteries come with a built-in Battery Gauge or “Fuel Gauge” which shows the approximate run time remaining.
Disposal:
Properly dispose of Battery at a local recycling location.
