Manually Charging the Battery
Battery in Platform
To manually charge a battery inside the platform, push the AIV backwards, with E-STOP
engaged, so that the rear of the platform slides over the contacts of the docking station.
NOTE:You will need to press the brake release button first.
Standalone Battery
The battery can be charged, outside of the platform, by using the connector on the left side of
the docking station (viewed from the front)with the provided charging cable. This will most
likely to be used for charging a spare battery, while the second battery is still in the platform,
and the platform is in use.
There is about a 10-second delay between when you connect the battery cable and when the
charging LED turns on.
NOTE:The docking station cannot charge a platform and a separate battery at the
same time. If a platform is on the station, the power to the manual charge connector
is cut off.
Some users choose to manually charge a spare battery, and swap that for the battery inside the
platform. This is often done at the start of each workshift, to make the AIV available for the
entire shift without recharging.

maintain maximum run-time.
There are three ways for managing battery balancing:
