What happens here

The discussion focuses on the battery system of the OX units. They use standard AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, not lithium, which are preferred for their cold weather tolerance. The batteries take approximately 4 to 6 hours to fully recharge, or about 2 hours from being completely drained. It's recommended to keep the units plugged in whenever possible, as the charger acts as a maintainer, preventing overcharging and ensuring the units are always ready for use. The batteries are easily user-replaceable, similar to an ATV battery.

Goal: Understand the battery type, charging, and maintenance requirements.

Tools and materials

  • Battery charger — Recharging and maintaining the AGM batteries
  • OX electric dolly system GetTheOX.com — The main power unit containing the battery system
  • AGM battery — Powering the electric dolly system

actuator yeah you just plug it into the wall what I do sometimes is just leave it sitting on the trailer pull it next to the shop have an extension cord plug it in go eat dinner because it's it'll it's a maintainer once it reaches full charge so it's not going to overcharge we recommend just to leave it plugged in all the time so it's always ready you don't have to worry about letting this and that's the Drive Unit yes right but not the wheelbarrow itself either one of them they'll both have a maintainer charger function on it so you can just leave them plugged in so they're always ready to go and not have to worry about it how long does it take typically if you're gonna run it all the way down how long does it take to recharge and then what is the typical operation time on it gonna take anywhere from four to six hours on a recharge depending on how far it actually is down we've had some of them ran it completely down we'll put 5 500 pounds in this and ran it for three miles before it ran out and it took two hours to charge at that time but it's a lot of weather conditions temperatures and everything else is how long it takes to charge up but that was on the the 2022 models we're upgrading the batteries putting a larger battery pack in the power unit itself for 2023 just to give it that added you know runtime what kind of batteries do these use standard AGM they're not lithium okay so this means that a guy can go down to any battery store and swap out a battery at any time yes exactly using an ATV battery or something along those lines exactly okay yeah so easy battery replacement you know cost effective and everything else okay and the other thing we like about the AGM versus lithium is you guys up here in the northern states probably know the lithium doesn't like the cold right well yeah right AGM will tolerate the cold yep and it looks to me like
