Charger
You can recharge the battery at any point regardless
of the remaining energy left. Whenever possible,
recharge immediately after use.
An integrated charger is standard equipment for all
e5 loaders. Battery is fully charged and all cycles
completed when the green charge indicator light is lit.
The output current and voltage are controlled by the
internal charger and the charge process is
automated.
It is recommended to use only the integrated charger
of the loader to charge the battery. The charge r
output voltage and current are automatically adjusted
during different phases of charge process. If you use
an external charger, the charge voltage and current
may be wrong for each phase of the charge, causing
overheat or boiling of the battery, or damage to
battery cells.
Charge times shown here
are typical times in normal
operating temperatures
and with a battery that is in
good condition.
If the battery has been
completely discharged,
allow the charger to
remain plugged for longer
period of time to complete
also the equalising charge
phase.
Charge process
The status and phase of charge process is shown
with the signal lamps on the dashboard, see page
31.
In case the red charge status lamp lights, the battery
is not charging due to several possible reasons.
In addition to the charge signal lamps on the
dashboard, there are identical signal lamps on
charger itself. In case of trouble with charging, and
signal lamps on dashboard do not turn on, see the
lamps on the charger. To see these lamps, remove
the cover below the seat frame.
Equalising charge
During the end of normal charge cycle, the slight
differences of individual cells are balanced. The final
phase of the charge cycle, called equalising charge,
is completed when the green charge indicator light is
lit.
For optimal performance of the battery, it is
recommended to leave the charger mains plug
connected until the battery is completely full. This full
charge process must be made at least every 3 to 5
discharge cycles. The equalising charge is a slower
charge process, but important for the performance of
the battery.
Frequent equalising charges are
vital for the life of the battery and
to maintain its capacity. Full
charge is especially necessary
after a deep discharge or
repeated incomplete recharges.
Equalising charges are carried
out following normal charging
cycle, until the green indicator
light on the dashboard is lit.
Charger plug type
The standard plug type to connect the loader to
electric outlet is grounded CEE 7/7, commonly
known in Europe as "Schuko" type. If you use the
loader in areas where different kind of plug is
needed, your local Avant dealer will give you any
needed additional information. Regardless of the
type of the plug, other instructions in this chapter
apply to all electric Avant loaders.
The charger must be connected to electric outlet with
correct voltage and current output: Charge only from
a grounded electric socket, which is also protected
with a fully functional residual current protection
switch.
10 A (minimum)
16 A (recommended)
If using plug adapters, use only high quality versions
that are rated for outdoor use and that have also the
grounding wire connected.
Keep extension cables as short as possible. Use
good quality cables that have adequate cable
cross-section for the required current.
