Operating instructions
Charging the battery
Battery life
The service life of the battery in normal operation is at
least 5000 charges.
To optimise the conditions, the battery should be
charged for 48 hours before first use, and also if not
used for around six months. The full battery capacity
is only available again after charging and discharging
three times.
Connect the Buffetcart to the power supply.
The charging time is around three hours. The charging
process is shown on the charge indicator on the battery.
The charge state of the battery is indicated by the status LED in the
vision panel:
Orange
Orange/green
Green
Flashing red
Mobis® Buffetcart Plus
Initialisation phase / rapid charging:
Check that the voltage is more than 0.8 V
per cell and the temperature is between
-10 °C and 40 °C. If the temperature is
higher than 50 °C, charging takes longer.
Rapid charging can take different times,
depending on the battery's charge level.
Equalising charging:
The battery is already in operation, charged
to more than 95% of capacity. The current
is reduced in order to equalise the charge in
all the cells of the battery according to the
measured status.
Trickle charging:
The charging process is complete and the
battery is at full capacity. The battery should
remain in this state until the next use so
that it is always fully charged.
Defective / charging not possible:
Take the cart out of operation, have it
checked by authorised specialist personnel
and replaced if necessary.
