too low.
b) if you use your machine regularly more than once within 24 hours
to a certain extend. A good battery charger requires continuously
approx. 10 - 12 hours (according to type) to recharge empty
batteries. If you interrupt the charging process, the batteries will
never become fully charged, and will be quickly ruined.
c) if you do not recharge the batteries immediately after having used
them to about 70 or 80% of their rated capacity. Empty batteries do
not have the power for a further operation, and will be quickly
ruined. For machines fitted with a BEM the brushes will
automatically be switched off when the battery voltages becomes
too low.
If you use your machine daily for (a) short period(s) only, ask at
your nearest agency, or our service personnel. We will inform you
as to the most practical way to use your charger to avoid
premature corrosion of the battery.
- Storage of batteries
f batteries are taken out of service for a lengthy period they should
be stored fully charged in a dry, frost-free room. To ensure the
battery is always ready for use a choice of charging methods can
be made:
a) A quarterly full charge.
If loads are connected, e.g. BEM, a full charge could be needed after 3
weeks.
b) Float charging at the instructed charging voltage.
- Correct connection of the battery charger.
