Charging times
The specified charging times apply when batteries are
recharged immediately after a full discharge.
The charging time may be significantly longer if the batteries
have discharged several times in succession without being
fully recharged on mains power in the meantime.
The batteries must be fully operational.
Charge indication and battery charge state
Charging of the integrated and external batteries is interrupted
when the charging current drops to a very low value upon
reaching the end of charge. The battery is considered to be
fully charged and this is indicated by a green battery symbol.
The battery capacity actually available at the end of the charging
process depends, among other things, on the condition of
the battery and on the ambient temperature. The battery
capacity and condition of the battery cannot be determined by
the DC power supply.
The green battery symbol indicates that the battery is fully
charged. Even though the green symbol lights up, the capacity
of old or defective batteries may be so small as to permit operation
of EvitaXL for no more than a few minutes.
Sufficient battery capacity is always required.
See "Battery maintenance"!
Battery maintenance
To ensure maximum battery life:
● The battery should always be fully charged and where possible
never left uncharged.
If the DC power supply is not used:
● Connect EvitaXL to mains power after not more than one
month and switch it on for at least two hours in order to
recharge the integrated battery.
● Then fully recharge any external batteries which may be
connected.
If the battery is left uncharged for more than one month:
● The integrated and external batteries should be disconnected
from EvitaXL by experts in order to reduce spontaneous
discharge by the batteries.
Before reconnecting the integrated and external batteries,
check that their capacity is still adequate. They may have
become exhausted or damaged as a result of prolonged
storage.
Batteries are wear parts. They must be replaced in accordance
with the extent to which they are used.
● Exhaustive discharges should be avoided, as they lead
to premature wear!
Batteries are wear parts. Their capacity must be checked
regularly and the batteries replaced if necessary.
