Charging process
Note New battery packs are only pre-charged and must be fully charged before
first use. The display is activated during the first charging process. New
battery packs reach their full capacity after approx. 5 charging and
discharging cycles. Charge battery packs that have not been used for a long
time before use. The battery pack cannot be charged outside the permissible
temperature value range. The battery pack display then shows the temperature
symbol. If the display does not show anything during the charging process,
please follow the notes in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.
Note The charging current and the necessary charging time is temperature-
dependent for safety reasons.
Operation
CAUTION
Incorrectly inserted battery pack
Risk of injury or damage due to the cleaning robot falling.
When used in the device, the contacts of the battery pack are protected
against spray water. Ensure that the battery pack engages correctly. With the
battery pack removed, make sure that no water gets on the electrical contacts
of the battery pack and the device. If there is water there, dry it
immediately (by wiping it off / shaking it out) and place the battery pack
with the contacts facing down so that the water can drain off. Do not use any
heat sources for drying.
Note
The display shows the remaining run time in minutes while the device is in
use.
- Push the battery pack into the mounting on the device.
- Remove the battery pack from the device after completing the work. Charge partly discharged battery packs after use.
Storage
ATTENTION
Moisture and heat
Risk of damage
Store battery packs indoors only, at low humidity and temperatures below 20°C.
The battery pack display shows the current charging state during storage.
Note
The battery pack has an automatic storage mode; the storage mode is activated
and discharges the battery pack to 70% if the battery pack has not been used
for more than 21 days. This function protects the battery cells against rapid
ageing and increases their service life.
