3.6 Charging
Of all the areas regarding the Robomow, proper charging of the Power Pack is second only to safety in
importance. Failure to follow the charging guidelines will result in poor performance and a short batteries
life
.
After the completion of any daily cutting session it is very important to bring Robomow to its storage area
and plug it into the Power Supply as soon as possible.
The standard Power Supply is actually an indoor power supply. The charging system and batteries are
designed such that they can remain plugged in at all times of non-use without concern to overcharging, over
heating or damaging the batteries. In fact, it is the preferred way to maintain your batteries, always keep it
plugged into the Power Supply between uses. The power supply will re-charge the batteries from the
‘Recharge Battery’
level in approximately 16 hours, depending on conditions.
Connect the Indoor Power Supply to a regular household receptacle, 230 volts mains power and the output
lead of the Power Supply into the charging adaptor, Figure 3.1, and the charging adaptor to Robomow,
Figure 3.2, and the charging process will begin.
Important!
The Power Supply is for
‘INDOOR USE ONLY’
, place it in a sheltered place, dry location, which
is well ventilated and not exposed to direct sunlight.
The LCD will display ‘Charging’ and the battery icon will continually move from empty to full to show the
charging. Once the batteries are fully charged, the message will change to ‘Ready – keep charging’,
reminding you to keep it connected to the Power Supply until the next use.
Charging is such an important aspect for assuring good performance and batteries life that a special alert
and power management system is incorporated into the mower to remind and alert you when proper
charging process is not occurring.
Off-season storage
During winter or long period without using Robomow it is required to keep it connected to the Power Supply
in charging, preferably at room temperature.
