Things to know
13.0 Things to know
Batteries mostly discharged
= more charging current
Batteries half discharged
= decreased charging current
Batteries completely charged = no charging current
Since no charging current is flowing when the batteries are full,
the batteries cannot be overloaded.
13.2.1 What are batteries for cyclic use?
Batteries for cyclic use are designed, in contrast to starter batteries as
used in cars, so that they deliver continuous energy over a longer
period of time and allow a considerable number of charging phases.
13.2.2 When do the batteries achieve their maximum performance?
Fixed cycle batteries achieve a maximum performance after four or five
charging and discharging cycles. Only at this point is their internal
chemical equilibrium achieved so that they can produce maximum
performance and service life.
13.2.3 How do I make sure the batteries achieve their best service life?
• Always charge your batteries completely after use.
• Charge your batteries regularly.
• Only store completely charged batteries in the vehicle.
The battery charger regulates the voltage (Volt) and the current
(Ampere) from your mains connection down to the voltage
required for charging your batteries (24 Volt).
The amount of charging current required is dependent on the
charging state of the discharged batteries.
13.1 The battery charger - functioning principle
The entire power supply is taken over
by two 12 V batteries. These are located
below the motor cover under the seat.
The batteries used in the Strider are
known as batteries for cyclic use. Only
enclosed maintenance-free batteries are
used.
