7.3 Power and Charging
The platform battery is sealed. It supplies ample power for the motors, electronics, and
accessories.
The platform ships separately from the battery. You should have fully-charged and installed
the battery in the platform in Battery Safety Information on page 25.
Typically, the platform manages battery recharging. With the power provided by the auto-
mated docking station, all onboard systems function continuously while the battery recharges.
The Operator screen shows % state-of-charge (SOC) remaining for battery.
Run-time, with no load, is approximately 15 hours. This will vary significantly depending on
use and accessory power consumption.
Recharge time is approximately 4 hours.
Battery Indicators and Controls
The battery has (from left to right) four green LEDs, and one push-button (labeled SHOW
LEVEL). The firmware scans LEDs 1 through 4, back and forth, one at a time. From left to
right, the LEDs indicate:
LED

a:
If the red light blinks after pressing the SHOW LEVEL button, the battery is depleted and
needs a recharge.
If the red light blinks constantly, the battery needs service. Connecting the battery to a
platform will write an error code to the log, which will allow Service to better
troubleshoot the problem.
b:
While powered up, the LEDs scan back and forth from 1 - 4.
c:
When on docking station, blinks when battery pack balances. When balancing is com-
plete, all LEDs light solid.
