BATTERY COMPARTMENT DRAIN HOSE. Machines equipped with capability to report battery
charging data via IRIS are supplied with a charger and
set of batteries from the factory. When a battery
reaches its end of life and must be replaced, Tennant
highly recommends that the same battery type be used
to continue to maximize the machines performance. In
the event a battery with a different amp hour (AH), type
(Flooded, AGM, Gel), or manufacturer is selected for
replacement please contact Tennant technical service
department for assistance in determining the feasibility
of the replacement batteries and if so, selecting the

BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR
The battery discharge indicator (BDI) displays the
charge level of the batteries while the machine is
operating. When the batteries are fully charged, all five
indicators are lit (Figure 68). When the discharge level
reaches the red light, stop scrubbing and recharge the
batteries. When the red light begins to flash, the scrub
function will be disabled to protect the batteries from
total discharge. The machine will still propel when the
red light is flashing. This will allow user to transport the
machine to the charging station.

The lifetime of the batteries depends on their proper
maintenance. To get the most life from the batteries: Before Charging After Charging

MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERIES
Maintenance-free (Sealed AGM) batteries do not
require watering. Cleaning and other routine
maintenance is still required.

FLOODED (WET) LEAD-ACID BATTERIES

The flooded (wet) lead-acid batteries require routine
watering as described below. Check the battery
electrolyte level weekly. FIG. 129

NOTE: If machine is equipped with the automatic or

manual battery watering system, proceed to the
BATTERY WATERING SYSYEM instructions.
The electrolyte level should be slightly above the
battery plates as shown before charging (Figure 128).
Add distilled water if low. DO NOT OVERFILL. The
electrolyte will expand and may overflow when
charging. After charging, distilled water can be added
up to about 3 mm (0.12 in) below the sight tubes.
