MiRCharge 24V is a charging station that autonomously recharges docked robots, enabling
autonomous operation 24/7. Multiple robots can share the same charging station; however,
for this we recommend integrating the robots in MiRFleet to avoid bottleneck situations. For
more information, see MiRFleet Operating guide.
4.1. How charging works
To connect to MiRCharge 24V, the robot moves to a position in front of the charging station
to locate the VL-marker (1). It then moves onto the charging plate (2) and the charging
begins.

4.1. Front view of MiRCharge 24V.
The features of MiRCharge 24V are:
1.
V marker: the V-shaped recess forms a so-called V marker that the robot's front safety
scanner uses to detect the charging station.
2.
Charging pins.
Before the charger may deliver power to the robot's battery, the robot must press in both
charging pins and thereafter send a small electrical current to the charger. This ensures that
the robot is correctly docked before the charger begins charging with up to 25 A.
