Forklift Battery Replacement Conditions
The VC8300 maintains normal function of applications and connections during and after forklift battery
replacement.
Replace the forklift battery at any point during a shift and/or while the VC8300 is fully running.
The forklift battery may be replaced under following condition: VC8300 external temperature range: -30° C to
+50° C (-22°F to 122°F).
During forklift battery replacement (VC8300 is running on UPS battery), both Android and the VC8300 are
monitoring remaining UPS battery capacity. The default Low Battery notification threshold is set to 30%. The
Critical Battery threshold is set to 7%. If UPS battery is discharged below 7%, the VC8300 automatically shuts
down.
Starting from Cold Soak
The VC8300 can to start up from a saturated cold soak at -30°C (or above) internal VC8300 temperature when
a valid external DC power source is present.
The VC8300 design minimizes wait time from -30°C cold soak to load the OS and have internal heaters to
assist system warm up.
From a -30°C cold soak condition, the VC8300 battery heater may be activated to warm the UPS battery to an
acceptable charging temperature if charging is needed. The conditions and time to heat the battery are
managed by the system. The OS load time and VC8300 ready for use time is independent of warming the
battery.
