Optimize the power and performance of your new
2x24V machine by running with both battery packs
charged to 100%. If each battery has a different charge
state, the run-time of the machine is subject to the lowest
powered battery (For example: one battery is charged
100%, and the other is charged 50%, the unit will only
run until the 50% battery is depleted).
