MAINTENANCE GUIDES
Floor Scrubber Battery Maintenance
Battery care varies by battery chemistry, charger and machine configuration. Follow the instructions supplied for all three rather than applying a generic charging routine.
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 the battery area clean and dry as directed by the supplied manual
- Report corrosion, damage, heat, odour, leakage or swelling and isolate the machine where instructed
- 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.
