Strider MD 4 Plus Things to know
The battery charger regulates the voltage (Volt) and the current
(Ampere) from your mains connection down to the voltage
required for charging your batteries (24 Volt).
The amount of charging current required is dependent on the
charging state of the discharged batteries.
The entire power supply is taken over
by two 12 V batteries. These are located
below the motor cover under the seat.
The batteries used in the Strider are
known as batteries for cyclic use. Only
enclosed maintenance-free batteries are
used.
Batteries
Batteries mostly discharged = more charging current
Batteries half discharged = decreased charging current
Batteries fully charged = current to keep up battery charging
When the batteries are full, only the current required for battery
charging flows, which means that battery overcharging is prevented.
12.1 The battery charger - functioning principle
12.2 The batteries
12.2.1 What are batteries for cyclic use?
Batteries for cyclic use are designed, in contrast to starter batteries as
used in cars, so that they deliver continously energy over a longer
period of time and allow a considerable number of charging phases.
12.2.2 When do the batteries achieve their maximum performance?
Fixed cycle batteries achieved a maximum performance after four or
five charging and discharging cycles. Only at this point is their internal
chemical equilibrium achieved so that they can produce maximum
performance and service life.
12.2.3 How do I make sure the batteries achieve their best service life?
• Always charge your batteries completely after use.
• Charge your batteries regularly.
• Only store completely charged batteries in the vehicle.
