Balance And Maintainence Charging - Omron Pioneer LX User Manual

Table of Contents
The battery is designed to be lifted and replaced by one person, using one hand in each of the grips,
as shown in the following figure.

Balance and Maintainence Charging

The battery is composed of multiple cells, which need to stay balanced in order to maintain maximum
run-time. By default, the battery will be automatically balanced after a full charge cycle; leave the robot
charging on the docking station until fully charged and the Charge light turns off. If using multiple
batteries or otherwise charging the battery outside the robot, leave it plugged into the charging station
until fully charged and balanced. A battery should be left to charge fully and balance weekly, or more
frequently.
In general, it is recommended to leave the robot engaged in the charging station whenever not in use,
rather than turning the robot off.
Removing and Installing Covers
Many of the maintenance procedures require removing some of the platform's covers. Most covers are
held in place with just magnets. The rear cover has an additional brace for support, the bumper cover
uses screws and magnets, and the access panel uses a push-push latch.
