8.2.18.2 LITHIUM battery (LTH versions).
The LITHIUM battery present on the LTH version machines feeds the power circuits of the machine and,
through a DC-DC converter, also the control circuits.
▪ The battery consists of lithium-ion cells and an advanced electronic management system, integrated
into the battery itself, called BMS (Battery Management System) which communicates directly with
the machine control system and with the battery charger, managing the battery in the best way for
efficiency and battery life itself.
▪ The chemistry of the lithium cells provides a high level of safety, and high performance and allows
great flexibility of use in the charge / discharge cycles, not presenting any memory effect.
▪ The battery is maintenance-free and withstands incomplete discharges and charges (bottle feeding)
without affecting its lifespan.
▪ The absence of emissions and the extended range of the working temperature make the machine
perfectly suitable for any work environment.
▪ The terminal clamps must be well-tightened and free of encrustations. The cables must have the
insulating parts in good condition.
▪ Keep the battery clean, dry and free from oxidation products by using antistatic cloths.
▪ Do not place tools or any other metal object on the battery.
8.2.18.2.1 Maintenance of the LITHIUM battery (LTH versions).
LITHIUM batteries are MAINTENANCE-FREE type. Consider the following:
▪ Clean the battery terminal terminals from encrustations and oxide;
▪ Check that the terminals are properly tightened.
▪ If the need arises to disconnect the battery from the machine, the communication cables must first
be disconnected and the power connections only later.
▪ Although the LITHIUM battery accepts partial charges without consequences, it is recommended that
the battery be fully charged to 100% at least once a week to ensure proper cell equalization.
▪ During periods of machine inactivity, the batteries discharge spontaneously (self-discharge). It is
recommended to avoid periods of inactivity longer than 3 months. If the machine is to be put out of
service for longer periods, it is mandatory to carry out a complete recharge every 3 months using the
battery charger connected to the 115-230V mains or in UNATTENDED RECHARGE mode.
▪ To limit the self-discharge of the batteries during periods of inactivity, it is recommended to leave
the battery charger connected to the 115-230V mains.
▪ In the presence of operating anomalies attributable to the battery, avoid intervening directly and
notify the Technical Assistance Service.
