Battery charging times Battery charging times The charging time for lithium-ion batteries depends on the charger used. There are two types of chargers. The charging times indicated in the table are provided for information only. They correspond to a complete battery recharge (from 0% to 100%).
Using the on-board charger Using the on-board charger CAUTION Precautions for installation and use – The electric installation must comply with the standard applicable in your country. – The electric wall socket must be a 2-pole + earth 16-A, 230-V type socket that is correctly connected and protected.
Page 36
Using the on-board charger The on-board charger is intended to recharge the battery. – Switch off the truck. Do not pull the emergency stop handle. This operation cuts off the circuits and stops the battery from charging. – Connect the charger plug to a mains wall socket.
Page 37
Using the on-board charger CAUTION Risk of damage to the equipment. It is strictly prohibited to use an on-board charger other than the one recommended. CAUTION Risk of damage to the mains cable resulting in electric shock and/or burns! Park the truck sufficiently close to the mains wall socket to ensure that the mains cable on the on-board charger is not taut when connected and charging.
