Battery Maintenance - BlowHard High Flow Jet Series Operation Manual

The following are good maintenance practice:
•
The battery has an integrated charging system. The integrated charging system will fully
charge and manage the battery when the fan is plugged in and the power switch is off.
•
To charge your fan, simply plug it in and turn the power switch counterclockwise to the
off position. Be sure the red "BH" LED is off and the green battery LED is flashing or
solid green.
•
Charging is best completed in a cool environment. The optimum temperature range is
50F-85F or 10C-30C. Charging in extreme temperatures is limited and will extend
charge time or prevent charging altogether. Charging in extreme temperatures may
reduce battery life.
•
Fast Charge – A quick charge will charge your battery to about 90% of full capacity. The
green battery light will blink quickly.
•
Trickle (Slow) Charge –Trickle charge takes place from 90% to 100% capacity. The
green battery light will blink slowly. Best practice is to complete a full charge during
maintenance.
•
Battery Maintenance – Once the charging process is complete, the battery management
system will automatically perform maintenance on the battery while the fan remains
plugged in. This includes balancing all cells for optimized performance.
•
Charge Battery after each and every use even for a short period. The early recharging
and constant charging will not damage the battery as BlowHard's advanced battery
management system (BMS) will control what charging each cell will get as needed.
•
Always keep the battery in charged condition through constant charging or regular
maintenance. This will ensure the readiness operation of the fan and the full capacity of
each operation. If possible, leave fan plugged into shore-lined truck.
The battery maintenance process once charging is complete may take several hours, depending
on the condition and characteristic of each individual battery cell. It can also restart during
extended periods of nonuse.
Battery Life:
•
If you have problems with your battery please contact BlowHard at 541-967-0063 or at
support@blowhardfans.com.
•
The typical estimated life of the Li-Ion battery supplied with the High Flow Jet series PPV
fans is up to 500 full discharge cycles.
•
When your battery reaches its life cycle the run time of the fan will begin to decrease and
the battery pack will need to be replaced.
•
Periodically check your run time. After Full Charge your fan should be capable of
running on battery for approximately 40 - 50 minutes on high. As battery begins to reach
the end of its life cycle, full charge runtime will drop to about 80% of the original time.
