What’s Inside Your Expresso Battery
The Battery is composed of four 12 Volt, 14 Amp-hour
capacity batteries, in series, for a total capacity of 48 V,
14 Ah.
The component batteries are a standard, commercially
available size. Keep three things in mind, however,
should you choose to service your battery.
1) The batteries are soldered into place. Replacing
batteries will require soldering equipment and
skills.
2) Batteries can be extremely dangerous. If allowed
to short-circuit, they can cause burns, create
blinding arcs, or explode, causing serious injury. If
you accept this risk, work slowly, and exercise
utmost care! Work with only one wire at one time.
3) Batteries, solder, and soldering vapors contain
lead, a toxic substance that can build up in your
body. Minimize your exposure to lead by wearing
gloves, providing good ventilation when soldering,
and washing hands after soldering or handling
batteries. You should NEVER simultaneously solder
and eat snack foods!
