Battery Replacement Time Periods
If the robot is kept in storage and not in production, or the robot is turned off (no 24 VDC
supply) most of the time, then the battery should be replaced every 5 years.
If the robot is turned on with 24 VDC supplied to the robot more than half the time, then
you can increase the replacement interval to a maximum of 10 years.
