BATTERY
GENERAL INFORMATION
With proper use and charging at 20-30° C the battery lifetime is about 2-3
years. Batteries are wear products and therefore not covered by the guarantee
or warranty.
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries for cyclic use can easily withstand more
than 600 cycles at at least 50% discharge before max.capacity falls below 80%.
AGM Battery: 24V
– Charging time: approx. 5-7 hours
80- 90% = full
27-28,5V = full
– Charge only with suitable 24V charger. We recommend the Panther Charging
Station (313165).
Important:
24V = empty
50% = empty
Recharge after use! Do not short Circuit!
Charge this battery during storage at least once a month in order to guarantee
a long lifetime!
CAPACITY TESTER
OVERVIEW
This battery capacity tester can test the voltage and capacity of battery, and display them with intuitive battery symbol and percentage. Users can know the state of battery in time.
Remove / Install
The Tester is fixed by buckles, so it is easy to remove / install. Use a flat
screw driver to do so.
Connecting Cables
This is how you have to connect the cables:
CAPACITY TESTER
USAGE
Functions
The Tester has two functions : F0 and F2. Use the“K+” key on the back to
select F0 and F2. Then press the“OK”key on the front, the selected function
will run. The default function is F2.
F0: Backlight on
Tester run all the time, LCD and backlight always on.
F2: Dormancy
Tester enter a dormancy state (<15uA) after display 10s, LCD and backlight
turn off. Press the “OK”key, LCD and backlight turn on 10s.
Display Mode
The Tester has three kinds of display mode. Press the “ K-”key on the back to
enter display setting. Use the“K-”key on the back to change the display mode.
Then press the “OK”key on the front, the selected mode will run.
V + % = Voltage and percentage display
The Tester can display the current voltage or the current percentage of
capacity. Press the
“OK”key on the front can change the display content.
V = Voltage display
The Tester only displays the current voltage.
% = Percentage display
Tester only displays the current percentage of capacity.
****The Tester cannot be exposed in the sun for a long time or in the environment with large amounts of ultraviolet radiation when using or storing, particular in winter ( -20°C) and summer ( >60°C), otherwise it will shorten the life of the LCD display.
CHARGING
CHARGING STATION

air convection
Protection: Short circuit / Over voltage / Over temperature / Battery under
voltage / Battery over voltage / Battery reverse polarity protection
Front Panel LED Indicators
SAFETY
Safety Guidelines
- Do not use in wet or humid conditions
- The cables between charger and battery should be kept as short as possible to prevent excessive voltage drop (suggested cable length: 50cm – 100cm). Too much voltage drop will lead to longer charging period.
- Temperature raising on case during charging is a normal behavior.
- Dismantling or changing components of the charger is forbidden.
- Charger should be in the OFF mode before making battery connection or disconnection.
The charger provides a DIP switch behind the panel used to switch different factory charging parameters. Please refer to the table below for corresponding curves on different positions of the DIP switch.
General Operation
At the beginning stage of operation, the charger provides the largest current
with 28.8V dc of output voltage to charge batteries, the LED indicator will
flash in orange. After a period of time
(probably a couple of hours) the charging current will decrease gradually.
After reducing to 10% of its maximum value, the charger will go into „float
charge“ stage.
Output voltage will drop to 27.6V and the LED indicator can flash in green.
