Installing the Battery

IMPORTANT: Turn off and unplug Lobo before installing the battery.

The battery compartment is on the flat underside of the system. Before installing the battery, be sure that the power switch is in the Off position and unplug the Lobo from its power source. Set your Lobo upright, with its handle at the top, as shown. Open the battery compartment by turning the compartment screw counterclockwise until the door opens.

The batterys connection uses a special plug with three holes, which fit over three metal prongs at the top of the battery compartment. Hold the plug so the side with three metal leads faces toward you, and move the plug upward, so that the three metal prongs in the top part of the compartment slide into the three holes in the connector.

Once the plug is attached, place the battery into the compartment with the pull tab facing out, and tuck the battery wires into the empty space above the battery. Then, close the compartment door and turn the door screw clockwise until tight.

If you need to remove the battery, be sure that the power switch is in the Off position and unplug any AC power supply. Then, open the battery compartment door. Carefully remove the battery from the compartment, without pulling on the wires. Finally, hold the battery connector plug, and pull it down to disconnect it.

Charging the Battery

To charge the battery, simply leave it installed and connect Lobos AC power supply. When the battery is at less than 10% power, it will take approximately 2 hours to fully charge. The battery will charge even when the Lobo is powered off.

Improving Long-Term Battery Life

A charged battery will lose its charge over time, even when not being used. To improve long-term battery life, give the battery a partial charge every two months. Avoid fully charging the battery before a long period of storage.
