Battery Pack Information
The Raptor is powered by high quality Lithium-ion battery
technology. The following information will ensure that the battery
remains at maximum performance for the duration of the Battery
packs lifecycle.
•
Warning. Only authorised Ecospin technicians are permitted to
open or alter a battery pack. Doing so can be extremely dangerous if
not fatal without specialised skills, training and knowledge. Braking
of the seals will invalidate warranty
•
Only use a lithium charger provided by an Ecospin authorised dealer
that is compatible with the battery pack. any other may cause fatal
damage to packs and void warranty. Using the wrong charger may
cause thermal events including fires
•
Although the Raptor can take one, two or three battery packs, it is
essential to prolong the life of the pack (number of chargers it can
take during its life span )that they batteries must be used and
charged as sets this will ensure batteries stay at optimum levels of
performance. To assist with this each pack has a battery
identification label (BIL) to identify it. (Sets can be used in different
vehicles so long as they are used and charged as sets, batteries can
be used in any slot however there must be a battery present and
charged in the bottom slot for the vehicle to move )
•
Batteries must be used as sets
•
Never mix part charged packs and full packs if in doubt charge them
all. Mixing different states of charge battery packs even belonging to
the same set will damage the life duration of the pack. the charges
will only charge to full capacity (impossible to over charge)
Battery Conditioning:
•
The initial Battery charges and discharge (battery cycles)
will train the battery pack to operate at its maximum
operating capacity and align the state of charge meter.
•
Once the battery conditioning period is complete you can
charge and use your battery whenever you like, but it is
recommended that once a month they be fully charged &
discharged. This action relearns and resets the state of
charge meter calibration (failure to do so may cause
inaccurate reading levels to be displayed).
•
Lithium-ion batteries can be charged as often as required
and do not suffer from memory effect that some other
chemistries .
•
Failure to comply and operate the battery packs In line with
these instructions can invalidate the warranty of the battery
packs.
