CargoPower installation and operation, revision - 01 25
4.5 Batteries
It is possible to use the CargoPower drive system with a single as well as with several
batteries. Batteries are not part of the HEINZMANN delivery scope. The following list
provides an overview of the Batteries from other manufacturers that can be used:
"List of suitable Batteries for the operation of
CargoPower - Drive System for Light Electric Vehicles".
This is available via the download area of the HEINZMANN website:
https://www.heinzmann-electric-motors.com/downloads/cargo-power-system
The use of power sources other than those listed may be possible. Prior approval must be
obtained from HEINZMANN.
In any case, the operating instructions and technical information of the
respective battery manufacturer must be strictly observed!
Basically, a distinction is made between two groups of usable rechargeable batteries:
- Batteries without communication
- Batteries with CAN communication
4.5.1 Batteries without communication
Such batteries usually become active immediately after insertion and immediately
supply energy to the CargoPower drive system (controls are switched on instantly).
This results in the following:
- It is not possible to switch the CargoPower drive system on or off using a control
element on the handlebar.
The system is only switched on or off by inserting or removing the battery, unless
otherwise provided for by a circuit of the vehicle manufacturer. It is essential to
follow the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
- The state of charge of the battery can only be estimated from the battery voltage and
the characteristic discharge curve of the battery.
- Not all functions of the CargoPower drive system are usable
(e.g. recuperation, FREE DRIVE system
etc.)
