“Max. permitted charging current” is the maximum permitted charging current for the battery being used. The value depends on things such as the cell type and battery capacity. For example, an 8 Ah battery can be charged at a maximum current of 12 A, a 2 Ah at a maximum of 3.8 A.
You can manually adjust the charging current. However, you must ensure your setting does not exceed the battery's maximum allowed current, as the charger will only apply the configured value if the battery supports it. Therefore, the value you set must not exceed the battery's maximum permissible charging current.
“Current charging current” shows the current being used to charge the battery. Factors such as temperature and current charging state of the cells can affect this value.
In the X20V Team, the app supports only “smart batteries”. Only these batteries feature a Bluetooth interface.
The cut-off voltage is the voltage at which the battery will stop discharging. A higher cut-off voltage improves the lifespan of your battery, but also reduces the operating time per charge. A lower cut-off voltages vice versa increases the operating time per charge.
The maximum continuous discharge current you've set might be too low. If working in Expert mode, you can increase this via the app. If you're using a different mode, choose one with a higher continuous discharge current—for example, Performance mode. However, it's also possible your battery is simply (almost) empty and needs to be charged with an X20V charger. If neither of these actions provide a solution, please contact your Service Center. You can find the contact address in the "Service Center" chapter of the manual. You can find the manual in the app under the device view in the "Instructions" section. Alternatively, you can download it from www.lidl-service.com.
Using the “Identify battery” function in the app, you can make the charge indictor of the battery blink. The battery must be connected with your app and available in the main menu for this to work. The selected battery will then blink for 20 seconds.
In order to continuously monitor and ensure the quality of our products, each battery is subjected to a range of tests before leaving the factory. In these tests the battery is charged and discharged and the Bluetooth connection checked. For this reason, your battery already shows a minimal total operating time when new.
The remaining operating time is based on the average consumption of the device that is using the battery. Turning on the device means that more electricity is being consumed and therefore the remaining operating time becomes shorter. Turning off the device make the remaining operating time longer.
Depending on what you intend to do, the four operating modes serve different purposes. The modes available are Performance, Balance, ECO and Expert. Depending on your selection, the battery adjusts the cut-off voltage and the maximum continuous discharge current.
Performance mode provides you with the maximum power per battery charge. The cut-off voltage is set at 2.5 V per cell and the maximum continuous discharge current limited to 50 A (Smart Battery PAPS204 A1) or 100 A (Smart Battery PAPS208 A1).
Balance mode is the most balanced of the four operating modes: It supplies good performance with a good operating time.
ECO mode optimises the lifespan of your battery. To do this, it increases the cut-off voltage to 3 V per cell and limits the maximum discharge current.
Expert mode allows you to configure everything yourself: You can set the maximum continuous discharge current to between 5 A and 50 A (Smart Battery PAPS 204 A1) or 100 A (Smart Battery PAPS208 A1). The cut-off voltage can be set between 2.5 V and 3.4 V per cell.
The smart charger (PLGS2012 A1) is 100% compatible with all X20V Team batteries.
You can change the charging current for all X20V batteries. Other settings, e.g. the ECO mode, allow the battery to be charged more slowly and thus increase the lifespan of your battery. Storage mode optimally prepares your battery for longer term storage.
The smart charger (PLGS2012 A1) can be reset by holding down the “ECO” and “60%” buttons for at least five seconds.
Expert mode allows you to configure the permitted charging current range for each battery. The actual charging current depends on the ambient temperature and charging status of your battery. If the temperature is too high or too low, the charging current is automatically reduced. This ensures you get the best performance from your battery.
When disconnecting the charger from the power, only the Wifi settings are saved - no other settings are stored.
You receive this notification if the battery is overheating and needs to be protected.
The charging switch allows you to interrupt the charging process. The battery will only continue charging when you switch it back on.
The charger displays the current temperature in Celsius (°C).
Connect to the charger (PLGS 2012) via your app and select the desired setting under “Push notifications”.
The charger always displays the current cell temperature of the connected smart battery. If you see "0°C," no battery or a non-smart battery is connected.
The charger always shows the remaining charging time. A charging time of “0 minutes” means that no battery is inserted in the charger, or the current charging process has completed.
Performance mode charges your battery as quickly as possible.
Charging your battery to 60% of its capacity prepares it optimally for longer term storage and prevents self-discharging. If you place a battery onto the charger and select “60% charge”, then the battery will be either charged or slowly discharged until it reaches a charge of 60%. For a fully charged 4 Ah battery, e.g. Smart PAPS204 A1, it can take up to 32 hours for the battery to discharge to this level. An empty battery will be charged to 60%.
Depending on what you intend to do, the charging modes serve different purposes. The modes available are Performance, Balance, ECO and Expert. Depending on the selected mode, the charger will adjust the charging current.
Balance mode is the most balanced of the modes: It charges the battery quickly, while also helping preserve its overall lifespan.
ECO mode charges the battery slowly. Unlike the fast charging Performance mode, this mode increases the overall lifespan of the battery.
This allows you to manually configure the continuous charging current.
You can easily connect your PARKSIDE Smart Tools to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Please keep in mind that smartphone manufacturers only support a specific maximum number of devices connected at the same time. Depending on the device, the limit may be higher or lower and depends on the Bluetooth chip installed in your smartphone, as well as the installed operating system version.
If you’ve forgotten the device PIN for your robot lawnmower, you can look it up in the PARKSIDE app. Tap on the robot lawnmower under “Your devices” and scroll down to the heading “Device settings”. You’ll find the item “Device password” there. Tap on the eye icon to display the PIN.
To enable your robot lawnmower to connect to your smartphone, you need to make sure that you have enabled Bluetooth and the location service on your smartphone and have granted the PARKSIDE app access to it. This is a technical requirement, otherwise scanning for PARKSIDE devices will fail. Also make sure that your router supports 2.4Ghz WiFi.
It could be that your robot lawnmower is only connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Your robot lawnmower will therefore not be able to receive commands from your smartphone from a greater distance. To control the device remotely, remove it from the app and re-add it to connect to your WiFi.
