INSTALLATION/OPERATION

Quick Start Guide

• Check the battery housing, the cables and connectors for damages.
• Switch the battery on by pressing the ON/ OFF button for a few seconds.
• t the delivery state the battery SOC display should indicate a State of Charge of approximately 30%.
• The battery must be fully charged prior to first usage.
• The Li600 Lithium Material Handling Battery communicates status to the vehicle via the CAN bus (optional) and to the operator via an external Stryten Energy display.

Deep Discharge Protection

When charge level is low, the buzzer beeps once per second. The battery must be charged immediately. If the battery becomes deeply discharged, the buzzer will beep rapidly (3 times per second), indicating that the battery will turn off in 15 seconds.

WARNING:

DEEP DISCHARGE SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS AS THE SUDDEN CUT OFF OF THE BATTERY CAN LEAD TO DAMAGE AND HAZARDS, SUCH AS SPONTANEOUS STOP OF THE VEHICLE.

IF THE BATTERY HAS SHUT OFF DUE TO A LOW DISCHARGE LEVEL, IT MUST BE CHARGED IMMEDIATELY. LONG SHELF TIMES OF DISCHARGED BATTERIES SHOULD BE AVOIDED (SEE STORAGE SECTION) NON-OBSERVANCE CAN LEAD TO BATTERY DAMAGE.

Charging

The Li600 Lithium Material Handling Battery may only be charged with a Stryten Energy-certified battery \charger. Please also refer to the Installation and Operating Instructions for the Stryten Energy certified battery charger. To extend battery life we recommend charging at each opportunity which means each break e.g. lunch, coffee etc. This will increase the battery lifetime and your productivity.
The Li600 Lithium Material Handling Battery system is charged as follows:

• Bring the vehicle to the Stryten Energy-certified battery charger.
• Check that all cables and plug-in connections are in working condition, and plug the charger into the battery.
• If the battery is needed before charging is complete, press the stop button on the charger before disconnecting.
  Stryten Energy-certified chargers are equipped to \control and terminate the charge cycle automatically. After charging the battery, the vehicle can be put back into service immediately. A rest phase or cooling is not required for the Li600 Lithium Material Handling Battery.

Warnings and Alarms

An audible and visual warning from the display will occur under the following conditions:

• Under Voltage
• Over Voltage
• Over Current
• Under Temperature
• Over Temperature
• Communication Error

However, if the condition causing the warning worsens, an alarm will be generated and the frequency of the beeping will increase to three times per second. After 15 seconds, the Battery Management System will shut down the battery. If this occurs, please push the on/off button to drive to the charger. If driving is no longer possible, stop working and contact Stryten Energy Service

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Do not open the battery. This can only be done by Stryten Energy service personnel. Only authorized\ Stryten Energy personnel are allowed to open the\ battery system. Otherwise the warranty will be void. The user should verify the condition of all external cables and connections prior to each operation. Before carrying out any inspection of the cables, the battery must be turned off and unplugged from the charger and the vehicle. In the case of any issues please contact your local service engineer.

Storage

Before being placed in storage, the battery should be charged to 60% SOC, powered off, and disconnected from both the vehicle and the charger. \The Li600 Lithium Material Handling Battery system has a very low self-discharge and can be put into storage for up to 6 months. It must then be recharged. If batteries are taken out of service, they should be stored in a dry and frost free room. Please find the minimum and maximum storage temperature in Technical Specifications

ATTENTION:

RISK OF DAMAGED DEVICE

• NEVER CLEAN THE SYSTEM OR SYSTEM PARTS USING A VAPOR JET OR SPRAY WATER.
• DIRT AND WATER MAY ENTER THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE.
• USE ONLY A MOIST AND CLEAN COTTON CLOTH FOR CLEANING.
• AVOID CHLORINE-BASED DISINFECTANT WIPE-DOWNS.

Display

The display indicates the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery from 100% to 0%. (Figure 2) The LED on the right of the gauge will flash when SOC is low and will stay on as an indicator to the operator to charge the battery. When the SOC reaches down to 15% an audible alarm will sound. If the operator ignores this warning, the battery will automatically shut down at 0% SOC.The available Li600 displays can be seen in Figures 2,\ 3, and 4 below. The color display shows more detailed\ information (voltage, current, temperature, SOC and diagnostics) and can be fitted anywhere with a display mount. The available Li600 displays can be seen in Figures 2, 3, and 4 below. The color display shows more detailed information (voltage, current, temperature, SOC and diagnostics) and can be fitted anywhere with a displaymount.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Fully charging the battery

In order to keep all the cells in the battery balanced, it \should be fully charged to 100% State of Charge (SOC) at least once per week and ideally once per day. In order to ensure the battery is fully charged, plug the battery into the charger and do not disconnect the battery until the “Complete” status is shown on the charger. Make sure that the weekly charging schedule allows adequate time for the battery to get a full chargeonce per week and ideally once per day.

Keeping power and aux contacts on charger connector clean

Make sure that the blue coding key is installed properly and that the interior mating surfaces of the 2 power pins and 4 aux pins on the charger connector are clean. Clean the interior the pins with either 95% ethanol or 91% isopropyl alcohol using swabs. This cleaning procedure should be performed every six months in a clean facility and more often for facilities with large amounts of airborne material.

When the blue coding key is inserted properly, the battery voltage will be visible through the hole in the top of the connector. See the section on servicing the charger connector if the coding key is not installed properly.

Checking cable from battery to Forklift

Check the connector to the forklift to make sure that it is inserted tightly. Also check the exit point of thebattery compartment to make sure that the power cables to the forklift are not rubbing on any metal surface where they could be abraded
