Premature wear of the battery
If the batteries are used incorrectly, it is possible that they wear quickly. Premature wear is not an error
in production and is therefore not within the scope of the warranty arrangement.
Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to the following:
Excessive load of the battery
If the batteries are loaded excessively, this will strongly reduce the life span. This means that you will
have to adapt the load.
Discharging too deeply
We recommend not to discharge the batteries completely. If this happens often, it will also result in
premature wear. Keep a close eye on the battery indicator, connect the battery charger in time.
Adapted charger.
The batteries should be charged with a correct charger and during a specific period. If the charging
current is too low, or if the duration of the charging process is too short, the batteries will not be fully
charged and the capacity of the batteries will be too low for your application, resulting in premature
wear. If the charging current is too high, or if the duration of the charging process is too long, the
battery can be overcharged. As a result, the plates of your battery will overheat and may become
damaged.
Intermediate charging
If, for example, the batteries are empty for only 60% and are reconnected to the charger, the batteries
will not get the time to relax. The temperature of the batteries will increase, resulting in premature
wear. Also, the voltage of the battery will become higher than the actual energy condition, which
means that the discharge limiter will no longer work correctly.
Ambient temperature
The temperature of the battery may not get too high, as the acid will become more aggressive. Here,
we are thinking of greenhouses and other heated spaces.
Frequent use
If the batteries are used often they will also wear more quickly. When selecting batteries, it is important
to take into account the Multi-Mover XL50's frequency of use. If the batteries are used very frequently
and intensively, it will be necessary to select the 100AH/20h battery instead of the standard 55AH/20h
battery.
Sulphation
A battery will slowly discharge as a result of automatic discharge. If a battery remains in a discharged
condition, it will start to sulphate and become damaged beyond repair. We therefore recommend
recharging the stored Multi-Mover XL50 every 2 months.
It is also possible, that there are still standby consumers in a switched off Multi-Mover XL50 (key
ignition etc.), which will mean that the batteries will discharge more quickly.
In that case, regular recharging of the batteries is recommended.
Immediate recharging of an empty battery, significantly promotes a longer life span. Further discharg-
ing than 20% has a negative effect on the life span.
The gases that are released while charging the battery are highly explosive (detonating gas).
Therefore, avoid fire and sparks near the charging location.
Charging may only take place in a well ventilated room.
Regularly check whether the battery charger stops automatically when the battery is full.
Never interrupt the charging process, make sure it is fully completed.
While charging the battery, never perform repair, cleaning or other work to the Multi-Mover XL50.
Prior to disassembling the batteries, switch off all power consumers, because of the generation of
sparks.
