Battery
The truck is designed so that it receives its energy supply from a
so-called lead traction battery. If any other type of battery or
energy source is used, measures shall be taken to ensure that
the battery voltage during operation always exceeds 70% of
nominal voltage: 17 volts for a 24 volt system. This is necessary
in order for the truck to function as intended.
• Check that the battery in the truck is a 24 V traction battery
having a weight within the minimum/maximum values stated
on the identification plate.
Battery sizes from 465 Ah to 620 Ah are available for the truck if
the battery is manufactured according to BT Products original
drawings.
Fitting the battery and battery
lock
• Make sure that the battery cables are correctly connected to
the battery.
WARNING!
Risk of short-circuiting.
An incorrectly connected battery can cause short-circuiting.
Check that the polarity is correct. Compare the markings on
the cables with those on the battery’s poles.
The battery can be changed from either side as well as from
above.
Replacing the battery
• Only replace the battery with a battery of the same weight as
the original. The battery weight affects the truck’s stability and
its braking capacity. Information on the lowest permitted bat
-
tery weight can be found on the truck’s identification plate.
WARNING!
Risk of moving the centre of gravity.
A battery weight that is too low gives impaired stability and
braking capacity.
The battery weight must be in accordance with the information
on the truck’s identification plate.
• Press in the emergency switch off.
• Open the battery compartment cover.
• Disconnect the battery connector from the battery.
