matty a Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 i wish that siku would make a better battery for the siku control range coz i just gave mine a full charge and i was then gona use it for silage carting and i managed to reverse so i could get it though the gate of my farm and the battery went dead. so in short it went dead after under 10 sec i would like to see a better battery that will last longer and be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 they should go for around 15min or a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 The life of the battery will also depend on how often you charge it, and how often you use it. If you leave the battery on the charger whenever it is not in use, and the Charger does not have an auto-shut off switch when the battery is full, I would expect the battery to wear down quickly. Also, if you wear all of the battery power out of the battery before you charge it, this will wear down the battery quickly, if not loose it's ability to charge...

FB Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 70min charge, 30min paly time i think? \ mine was the same, does the light on the charger flash when you put the battery in the charger and switch the battery to on??? if not, you may find the charger is faulty as mine was. Ring up the dealer or take it back, John Deere will send you a new one like they did me...apparently there was a faulty batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
