Additional Information

ChargeTo and MinutesToChargeFor parameters are both set to a default value of 0, the AMR
will never leave the Docking Target. Do not use this combination of parameter settings.

Storing Batteries
If the AMR is not used for 15 days or more, the battery should be removed and stored.
Make the following considerations when storing batteries.
• Lithium batteries must be stored in accordance with local regulations and ordinances.
• Always charge the battery to at least 50% capacity before long-term storage.
• Always turn OFF the battery before long-term storage.
• The batteries must be stored in the upright position. Do not place the batteries on the side, top, or
end when storing.
• Stored batteries should be fully balanced and charged every 6 months to prevent significant deterio-
ration. Failure to re-charge a stored battery periodically can damage it.
• Batteries stored at temperatures greater than 35°C or less than -20°C must stabilize for 4 to 8 hours
until within the nominal operating temperature, with no condensation before use.
• Store the batteries on a flat surface in an area free of vibration.
• Do not place anything on top of the batteries.
• Never expose the battery to water or other liquids.
• Do not store in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
• Do not store the batteries in a flammable environment.
