Charging Safety
Charging the J1600 is covered by a certified safety function: the charging-current relay, rated Performance Level b (PL b). This page collects the safety-relevant facts about the battery and both charging methods.
The battery
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Battery | 24 V, 200 Ah |
| Chemistry | Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) |
| Charging rate | About 47 percentage points per hour |
| Transport testing | UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, subsection 38.3 (UN 38.3) |
| Regulatory coverage | Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 — Batteries Regulation |
LiFePO4 chemistry is part of the vehicle's industrial-use design, alongside its certified safety architecture. The battery is tested to UN 38.3, the standard transport-safety test series for lithium batteries.
Charging-current relay
The charging-current relay is one of the nine certified safety functions on the Performance levels table. It governs the charging current path between charger and vehicle.
Manual charging
Manual charging works like charging a conventional electric pallet jack: plug in the charger during a break or when the machine is idle.
Automatic charging
With the optional automatic charger, the robot drives to the station, positions itself at the charger, and a charging interface extends to the vehicle's charging plates — no human contact with the connection is needed. This supports opportunity charging while the robot is not busy. Automatic charging is an advanced automation capability; when purchased, its setup is part of installation Day 1.
