Manually Charging the Battery

Under some operating conditions, the battery might become too hot to enable charging. To pre-
vent battery damage, the AMR's operating software displays error messages if the battery is
too hot, and you must allow it to cool before charging.
Charge a Battery Inside the LD-250
To manually charge a battery inside the LD-250:
1. Press an E-Stop button and then press and hold the brake release button. Be aware that
brake operation requires a small amount of battery power. If the battery is too low, you
might need to charge it outside the LD-250.
2. While holding the brake release button, push the LD-250 backward onto the docking sta-
tion.
Do not push the LD-250 too far back. It should remain approximately 50 mm (~2
inches) from the upright part of the docking station. See (A) in Figure 7-3.
3. Make sure that the amber charge LED illuminates after a few seconds. If the LED does
not illuminate, adjust the position of the LD-250 on the docking station by moving it
backward or forward an inch or so until the LED illuminates.
