4.1.2. BATTERY
Regardless of the type of construction, battery perfor-
mances are indicated with the term capacity, which
always refers to a discharge period. Another impor-
tant value is the number of possible discharges. The
capacity is expressed in amps per hour (Ah), while the
discharge period is generally indicated as 20 hours
(C20 or 20h, or not expressly indicated) or 5 hours (C5
or 5h). The discharge/charge cycles indicate the num-
ber of times that the battery can hold a charge under
the best conditions, i.e. they indicate the useful battery
service life complying with all the necessary measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depending
on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why the-
re's such a variation in the capacity values expres-
sed as C5 or C20. These factors must be taken into
account when comparing products available on the
market with our own.
This machine can be equipped with two types of bat-
teries that differ in terms of their construction and
features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armoured modules: the
electrolyte level in each element must be periodically
checked!
• If one element is no longer covered by the acid
solution it will oxidise in 24 hours, thus permanen-
tly affecting that element's performance.
• Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical da-
mage and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is mainte-
nance free and does not require special environments
for recharging (since it does not emit any harmful
gases); therefore, it is highly recommended.
• It should not be taken for granted that batte-
ries and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and
battery chargers) will safeguard the performan-
ces, the service life, the safety and the economic
value invested.
4.1.3. BATTERY CHARGER
This type of high-frequency battery charger efficiently
charges batteries, extending their operating and ser-
vice life. In addition, because they can be configured
it is a very versatile solution that reduces the number
of chargers required in the warehouse. The same bat-
tery charger can be used for both Pb-Acid batteries
and for gel batteries.
The information indicated on the digital display can
be used to always keep the charging process, the bat-
tery and the battery charger under control (read the
specific manual for more details).
Refer to the relevant manufacturer's manual provided.
• It should not be taken for granted that batte-
ries and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and
battery chargers) will safeguard the performan-
ces, the service life, the safety and the economic
value invested.
If the machine is supplied with a battery and a char-
ger, the setting of the machine and the charger is car-
ried out by the manufacturer.
In the event of changes to the equipment, i.e. the type
of battery and charger, we always recommend that
you contact your authorised service centre both for
the machine setting and the setting of the charger's
charging curve.
As a general rule, the following criteria apply:
For Pb-acid and GEL batteries:
charging current of approx. 10-12% of the capacity
in Ah-C20
For lithium batteries:
current of approx. 40% of the capacity in Ah
Failure to comply may result in serious damage to
the battery and warranty invalidation.
