Stiga EXPERIENCE Estate 798e Operator's Manual page 312

To charge the battery:
• bring the machine to an earthed
power socket (to prevent the use of an
extension cable) and remove the key;
• Lift the seat;
• Life the cap on the recharging
socket (fig. 22.A);
• Connect the battery charger supplied
to the recharging socket (fig. 23.A)
with the specific bayonet mount for the
respective connector (fig. 23.B);
• Connect the battery charger to the
mains by inserting its plug (fig. 24).
To charge the battery, a socket with a
differential safety switch (Fig. 25.A) is
supplied (where required) to which the charge
cable (Fig. 25 E) must be connected.
The socket with the differential
safety switch must be connected to
the mains power network and an
operating test must be carried out:
1. Press the "RESET" button (Fig. 25 BA)
to activate operation. The indicator
light must be "ON" (Fig. 25.C).
2. Press the "TEST" button (Fig. 25.D) to
perform the operating test. The indicator
light must be "OFF" (Fig. 25.C).
DANGER
If the operating test is not completed
successfully, the socket with the differential
switch must not be used. If the operating test is
completed successfully, it can be used and the
operator can proceed with the charging stage.
The complete recharge takes about 2-8.5
hours (depending on the battery and the
battery charger), during which the signalling
LEDs (fig. 13.F) flash progressively. When
each individual charge threshold is reached,
the respective LED remains lit steadily,
while the others continue to flash.
The battery can be kept in charge mode
for an indefinite period of time.

ATTENTION
It is possible to stop charging the battery when
the charge level is between LEDs 1 and 4. Do not
interrupt the charging phase when LED 5 flashes
but wait for it to light up steadily. When all the
LEDs are lit steadily, the battery is 100% charged.
NOTICE
Battery charging times may increase if
the machine has been used in heavy-duty
work conditions with consequent indication
of battery overheating (chap. 15).
NOTICE
If a battery becomes completely discharged,
the signalling LEDs remain off until the
minimum charge threshold is reached.
NOTE
When the charge level drops below the 10%
threshold, the first battery LED begins flashing.
The cutting means are disengaged and the
battery must be re-entered and recharged.
When the charging operation has
been completed, the charge system
reduces the current supply as far as
necessary to maintain and reintegrate
the battery charge to optimal values.
NOTICE
If, when the battery charger is connected to
the tractor, the 5 LEDs fig. 13.F all flash at the
same time, it means charging is not in progress.
Check the battery charger/mains connection.
