Using the Cradle

Returning Late / Low SoC​

If you miss the LED and Sound warnings indicating you should go change your battery, there is a chance the battery will need to shut down to prevent damage to itself. When in this Shutdown mode, the battery will attempt to find a moment when the current draw from the forklift is low, before disabling the power output.

A shutdown will typically occur after a period of approximately 20 seconds of alarms (beeping and flashing LEDs).

Shutdown Warning System (SWS)​

There are typically two shutdowns that the system uses in the event of a fault:

  • 30 second

    • Mild over-temp, low SoC, mild sustained under/over voltage

  • 10 second

    • Critical temp, very low/high cell voltage, excessive current
