Rocla TP20 Problems

Hi all

Trying to get to the bottom of a problem with a TP20 my company uses. From fresh charge we get about 10 mintues total time from the batteries - and if I stand on the platform and put it into 'hare' from tortoise the batteries fail (or appear) to fail almost immediately.

I've checked the batteries and there is still 24v total, and most cells at around 6v - I am lost!!!!

Can anyone suggest anything for a frustrated newby?

Thanks

Hi!
How many cells you have in your battery?? 6v in each element its strange!
Is your charger ok?
Can you test it with other battery?

Regards!

Hello, every cells of your battery should have nearly the same voltage,
Try to measure the batteries and at the same time activate pump motor to see what happens

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
