User manual
Charging the battery
To charge the battery use only 12.6V chargers from Fictionlab. It is recommended to use the provided 5 A charger, which allows for a full charge in approximately 3 hours.
You can also use the standard Leo Rover 2 A charger, but the charging time will be longer (approximately 8 hours).
Do not use any other chargers (especially rated higher than 12.6V), as it may damage the battery or cause safety hazards.
Check the charger specifications before use. The charger must output 12.6 V with a current limit of 5 A or lower. Using a charger with incorrect output voltage or without proper current limiting may damage the battery or cause safety hazards.
- Connect the charger to the provided Weipu to 5.5 mm barrel connector adapter cable.
- Connect the Weipu connector to the battery pack.
- Plug the charger into a power outlet.
- Press the button on the battery. The LED indicator on the charger power supply will light up red, indicating that the battery is charging.
- When the LED indicator on the charger power supply turns green, the battery is fully charged. Unplug the charger from the power outlet and disconnect the Weipu connector from the battery pack.
LED on the battery pack will not light up during charging.
Do not charge standard battery pack with 5 A charger from the high capacity battery addon.
It can lead to overheating, damage to the battery pack and it may pose safety hazards. Use only the provided 2 A charger for standard battery pack.
Mounting the battery
The high capacity battery is designed to be mounted as direct replacement for the standard battery pack. It is compatible with Leo Rover version 1.6 or newer. The mounting process is the same as for the standard battery pack. Please refer to the Leo Rover assembly manual for detailed instructions on how to mount the battery.
Maintenance and safety
- Do not disassemble the battery pack. It contains high voltage components that can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not expose unmounted battery pack to water or moisture. When disconnected from the robot, the battery pack is not waterproof and can be damaged by water and other liquids.
- Do not expose the battery pack to high temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight. The battery pack can be damaged by heat and may pose a fire hazard.
- Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving it near heat sources.
- Do not short-circuit the battery pack. Avoid contact between the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack, as it can cause a short circuit and damage the battery or cause safety hazards.
- Do not puncture or crush the battery pack. Avoid dropping or applying excessive force to the battery pack, as it can cause internal damage and pose safety hazards.
- Avoid deep discharge of the battery pack as it will reduce its lifespan. It is recommended to recharge the battery pack when the voltage drops below 10 V.
- Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged, swollen, or leaking. If you notice any signs of damage, stop using the battery pack immediately and contact Fictionlab for support.
- Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire or water. Follow local regulations for proper disposal of lithium-ion batteries.
