Battery Care & Life
Lead Acid - Sealed and Vented
To prolong battery life of your machine, read this carefully:
For the first 15 charges, discharge the battery until the meter shows the remaining
charge as BDI = 30%, but not lower.
Note: It is very important that you follow this procedure for the first charge cycles on the
battery; otherwise the battery life can be severely affected. After these initial charges, we
recommend you charge when the BDI shows 30-50%.
Always recharge the battery to 100% regardless of the current battery charge level.
Lithium
To prolong battery life of your machine, read this carefully:
Unlike Lead-Acid, Lithium batteries are designed to be regularly charged for short periods
of time, a charge pattern often referred to as ‘opportunity charging’.
It does not need to be fully recharged every time. There is no minimum charge time
required.
30% capacity can be returned to the battery in 30mins. Full charge in 1.5 hours.
The battery does not give off gas when on charge, therefore the charger can be mounted
wherever is convenient.
The battery must receive a full charge every three months. This is true whether the
machine has been used during this time or not. Failure to do this may lead to irreparable
damage to the battery.
IMPORTANT: BATTERY LEVELS
Lead Acid and Lithium batteries: If the battery indicator shows 30% or less
stop using the machine and recharge as soon as possible, otherwise the
machine may stall while connected to a load. Do not leave a battery fully
discharged. This can damage the battery, impair performance and shorten its
life.
Additional Information:
Machine batteries are consumable items and have a certain life. They will need replacing
from time to time.
You must only fit a new battery pack that is approved by MasterMover or by your local
service partner. Warranty restrictions apply.
