How to Properly Maintain the Scrubber Lithium Battery

Storage Conditions:

When the scrubber is not in use for a short period (e.g., within 6 months), it is essential to store the lithium battery in a dry place free from corrosive gases. The recommended storage temperature and humidity range are between -20°C to 35°C and 65±20%, respectively. For longer periods of non-use, such as over 6 months, it is advised to charge the battery to 50%~70% and store it in a dry and cool environment. Regularly charging the battery every 3 months is necessary to prevent irreversible capacity loss due to excessive storage time.

Charging Environment:

To enhance the battery's storage capacity and extend its use time, it is recommended to charge the lithium battery at around 25 degrees Celsius. This optimal charging environment contributes to the overall health and longevity of the battery.

Heat Dissipation Conditions:

Maintaining proper heat dissipation conditions is crucial for the lithium battery's performance. Keeping the battery spacing above 30mm and ensuring an ambient temperature range of +5-+35℃ are essential for effective heat dissipation and overall battery health.

Cleaning and Inspection:

Regular cleaning and inspection of the lithium battery are imperative for its longevity. It is essential to keep the battery surface and working environment clean and dry. Using a damp cloth to clean the battery and avoiding the use of organic solvents such as gasoline and alcohol. Additionally, regular inspection of the battery voltage, shell, cover, terminals, and wires is necessary to identify any signs of swelling, acid leakage, damage, oxidation, or loose connections.

Temperature Influence:

The temperature has a significant impact on the capacity of the lithium battery. At 0℃, the battery's capacity is only about 70% of the normal capacity, and for every 1℃ drop below zero, the capacity decreases by about 1%. It is crucial to note that the lower the temperature, the lower the battery capacity. However, this is a normal phenomenon, and the capacity returns to normal after warming up.

Charging Practices:

It is essential to charge the battery in time, especially if the scrubber is not used for an extended period. Using a regular matching dedicated charger is recommended, while avoiding the use of inferior or unmatched chargers to prevent damage to the battery. Controlling the charging time within 8-10 hours and avoiding the use of fast charging devices is crucial to prevent excessive current delivery that can damage the battery.

Waterproof Protection:

Preventing the battery from getting wet is essential for its safety and longevity. In the event of the battery getting wet, it should be immediately wiped clean with a dry cloth. Charging the battery or charger while wet should be strictly avoided.

Frequent Use:

The characteristics of lithium batteries necessitate frequent charging and discharging to ensure high performance. Regular use of the battery is essential to maintain its optimal functionality.

In addition to the aforementioned maintenance methods, it is important to keep the charging base powered when not in use to ensure the battery remains on the charging base. Furthermore, ensuring heat dissipation during charging by placing the scrubber and the charging base on a flat and solid surface is crucial. Deep discharge and overcharge should be avoided to prevent damage to the battery's electrode active material and excessive charging current. Long-term power loss should also be avoided, and the battery should be charged in time to prevent permanent damage.

In conclusion, proper maintenance of the lithium battery of a scrubber is essential for extending the service life and maintaining high performance. By adhering to the recommended storage conditions, charging practices, heat dissipation, cleaning and inspection, and other maintenance methods, the longevity and efficiency of the lithium battery can be ensured, ultimately contributing to the overall effectiveness of the floor scrubber.
