Operation
3.1.9 Batteries and charger
The scrubber drier is powered by a trac-
tion battery in trough (36 Volt/640 Ah
5
).
The battery has 18 individual cells of
the type 80 PzS (PzS = armor plate in-
sulation). They are fit in a battery trough
(Fig. 15/2). The advantage here is the
quick and simple removal and installa-
tion processes using a fork-lift truck or
lifting gear, particularly in multi-shift op-
eration. The battery trough is provided
with the necessary fitting holes
(Fig. 15/1). The trough battery is provid-
ed with a battery water top-up system
with fill level indicator (Fig. 15/3) for
each individual cell and with aquamatic
plugs (Fig. 15/4) to enable simple refill-
ing of water.
To ensure protection against total dis-
charge, the scrubber drier is equipped
with a total discharge signal transducer
(TSG). It is integrated in the electronic
system and set up at the factory for PzS
batteries (service indicator: No. 5).
If other batteries are used, the
total discharge signal trans-
ducer must be adjusted. This
adjustment work should only
be performed at an authorized
PowerBoss service center.
The trough battery is provided with a
connection cable with battery plug
(Fig. 15/5). When the battery plug is
plugged into the vehicle socket
(Fig. 15/6), the vehicle is ready to oper-
ate. To charge the trough battery, insert
the battery plug in the charger. The ve-
hicle includes a battery charger provid-
ing
• 36 Volt/80 ampere
• IUIa characteristic curve
• 400 V power supply line
