MAINTENANCE GUIDES
Floor Scrubber Battery Maintenance
Batteries are usually the single largest replacement item in a machine's life. Charging practice is what determines whether they reach their expected service life.
Charging practice
- Follow the charging instructions supplied with the machine and battery
- Charge after use rather than leaving batteries in a discharged state
- Let charge cycles complete where the manufacturer specifies it
- Charge in a ventilated area appropriate to the battery type
Connections and condition
- Keep terminals clean, dry and tight
- Check for corrosion, damage or swelling
- Keep the battery compartment clean and dry
- Follow the maintenance schedule specific to your battery type
Plan for replacement
Batteries are a known future cost, not a surprise. Include replacement in your whole-of-life budget and confirm the replacement options available for your machine.
Common questions
- How long does a floor scrubber battery last?
- It depends on the battery type, how deeply it is discharged each shift and how consistently it is charged. Ask us for the battery specification supplied with your machine rather than relying on a general figure.
