Manually Charging the Battery
Battery in Platform
To manually charge a battery inside the platform, push the AMR backwards, with E-Stop
engaged, so that the rear of the platform slides over the docking station contacts.
NOTE: Press and hold the brake-release button to move the platform.
NOTE: If you push the platform too far onto the docking station, it will not
charge. Make sure that the yellow charge light comes on and stays on.
Standalone Battery
You can charge the battery, outside of the platform, by using the connector on the left side of
the docking station (viewed from the front)with the provided charging cable. This will most
likely to be used for charging a spare battery, while the second battery is still in the platform,
and the AMR is in use. This side charging port is intended only for charging spare batteries
outside of the robot. It is not for charging batteries inside the robot.
NOTE: The docking station's side port is not live at all times. In order to begin
charging a battery on the side port the user must press and hold down the State
of Charge button on the battery after plugging it in. Holding down the button for
3 seconds will begin the charging process and energize the port. The side port
will de-energize automatically when the user disconnects the battery.
There is about a 10-second delay between when you connect the battery cable and when the
charging LED turns on.
