NOTE: It is a good idea to deactivate the brake system on uneven ground because bumps or dips in the ground would otherwise cause the main wheels to be stopped if one of both of the edge brakes were activated. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the system is switched on again before starting each movement downwards to the next step.

Their service life depends largely on the charging/discharging cycles. For example, it is possible to partially discharge lead batteries 1000 times, drawing more than 200 times the full capacity of the battery, providing the battery is never fully discharged.
