TB 0514 Jive Battery & 8A Charger Update

25/01/2017

As part of our continual development to existing products we have changed the 75Ah battery (part# 000 521 035) to the 80Ah battery (part# 200 160 05).

We will not change the maximum range description and use the increased battery capacity to fulfil the given range offered. We are making this change as we already use Eternity with good results with the 50Ah and 60Ah version.

In addition we will offer a new 8A battery charger with several new features listed below (part# 200 161 00) on all Jives and the Salsa R2 HD.

Benefits now given to the Customer:

With the 8A battery charger this brings an number of benefits to the customer:

  • Improved charging time – the 8A charger can charge batteries in 90% of the time of the current version
  • Record charging cycles – The new charger records charging cycles and logs the data in the charger memory for after sales service and analysis.
  • Improves “startup” capacity of battery – The charger will charge a battery the 5 first cycles with a higher rate and after the 5 cycles return to “normal” charge process, this therefore improves the “startup” capacity of the battery.
