3.3 Charging Instructions
myAGV Light Status and Power Indication Instructions
AGV body LED indicator directly reflects the current remaining power through color and flashing state. Users need to take corresponding actions in time according to the light status:
- Red light flashing: remaining power ≤10%, need to charge immediately (low power warning);
- Yellow light flashing: remaining power >10% and ≤20%, it is recommended to charge as soon as possible (low power);
- Green light always on: remaining power >20%, sufficient power, can operate normally.
myAGV Charging Recommendations
When the AGV displays yellow light flashing, it is recommended to complete charging within 30 minutes to avoid deep discharge; if it displays red light flashing, it is necessary to stop the task and charge immediately. Long-term low power operation may shorten the battery life.
Charging Adapter Specifications and Usage
- Interface Type: DC4017 circular interface (diameter 4.0mm, length 17mm, center positive).
- Compatibility: The original standard adapter must be used. Other models or non-certified adapters are prohibited (may cause overvoltage/undervoltage to damage the battery).
- Connection method: Align the adapter plug with the AGV charging interface and insert it vertically. The other end of the adapter is connected to a 220V AC power socket (make sure the socket is well grounded).
- Start charging: Make sure the AGV is turned off or in standby mode. After connecting the adapter, the AGV charging indicator lights up red and charging begins.
- Interrupt charging: After charging is completed, disconnect the adapter from the power socket first, then unplug the AGV end plug. It is prohibited to unplug the plug directly during charging (it may cause arc damage to the interface).
- Environmental requirements: The charging environment temperature must be between 0℃~40℃, avoid high temperature, humidity or poor ventilation environment, and it is prohibited to charge near flammable materials or in a confined space.
Charging completion and maintenance
- Full determination: After the green light is always on, it is recommended to continue charging 10-15 minutes to balance the battery power (the lithium battery protection mechanism may terminate charging early).
- Long-term storage and charging recommendations: If the device needs to be parked for more than 7 days, the battery power must be kept in the 50%-70% range, and a full charge and discharge cycle must be completed every month.
- Battery maintenance: Avoid complete discharge (power ≤ 5%), otherwise it may shorten the battery life; regularly check the battery health status (such as internal resistance, capacity attenuation) through the management software.
Tips:
- The charging adapter is a consumable part. If the plug is loose, overheated, or the light is abnormal, it must be stopped and replaced immediately;
- Personnel must be on duty during the charging process (especially after the first use or replacement of the adapter). If any abnormalities such as odor or smoke are found, the power must be turned off immediately and contact after-sales.
