Taking care of the batteries in your powered trolley is vital to ensure not only the safe working of the trolley, but also the longevity of the batteries and the performance of the trolley throughout its life.
All batteries have a finite life, just like the batteries in your mobile phone, but with a little thought and care the batteries in our power trolleys will give years of reliable service. Incorrect charging will reduce the amount of power the battery can store, and reduce the performance of the trolley itself, meaning you lose the productivity gains you wanted.
| DO'S | DONT'S |
| Store the trolley in ambient temperature. | Do not store out in the rain and the element, batteries are susceptible to extreme temperatures. |
| Charge the trolley for a full charge cycle, until the charger cuts out. | Do not charge every night, regardless of battery status |
| Leave the charger to charge the trolley, the charger is fully automatic and will switch off when fully charged. | Do not leave the battery charged plugged in constantly, when the battery is full, unplug the charge |
| Visually check the battery every 3 months, for terminal corrosion, leakage, or bulging, and that the cabling is secure to the terminal. | Do not “Opportunity Charge”, ie plug in and charge over lunch time for a bit of extra juice. |
| Only use the charger that is specified for the trolley | Do not charge the trolley whilst the trolley is switched on. |
| Discharge the battery to between 10-20% before recharging. | Do not leave the trolley idle and unused for a period longer than 2 weeks, as the battery will degrade. |
