Can someone easily steal the batteries on the 19C-1E?
The batteries cannot be easily stolen as they sit deep within the structure of the machine, it would take several hours to remove.
Do the batteries have warranty?
The JCB micro excavator powertrain batteries come with JCB’s standard 5-year warranty, which is the equivalent to 6,000 hours of power. Just like JCB equipment, these batteries are built to last.
How are the batteries charged on an 19C-1E?
The batteries on a 19C-1E can be charged with a 110V yellow industrial socket, with the option of a 230V industrial 3 pin blue socket; specified upon time of order.
How do I charge the 8008E CTS?
The 8008E JCB electric excavator comes with both 110V and 230V charging cables. To charge your machine you plug the cable into the rear of the machine via the rear service door – making charging simple. If you’d like to know more about how charging works, please refer to the operator’s manual.
How do I start the 8008E CTS?
The 8008E CTS electric excavator is quick and easy to start. For a complete step-by-step guide to startup, please refer to your quick start guide or the operator’s manual.
How does the 8008E CTS perform versus the diesel 8008 CTS
The diesel and electric compact excavator share the same structure, TOPS frame, dig end, hydraulics and controls, meaning they perform in exactly the same way. The only difference is that the power pack changes from a diesel to electric, which brings you a wealth of benefits onsite – from less vibration for increased durability to reduced noise levels for greater driver comfort. There’s a lot to love about JCB E-TECH.
How does the electric mini digger perform versus diesel?
The diesel and electric mini excavators share the same structure, canopy, dig end, hydraulics and controls and perform in exactly the same way. The only change is that the power pack changes from a diesel to electric.
How long will the batteries last?
Even after 2000 full charges and discharge cycles (expected to be over 10 years) the batteries still have over 85% of their capacity left.
How much can a mini digger lift?
This again is very dependent on the model. For instance, JCB's smallest micro digger, the JCB 8008 CTS, is a powerful machine, despite its small stature, and has a bucket tearout force of 9.3kN. Additionally, the JCB 16C-1 and 18Z-1 mini excavators are also perfect machines for light excavation and material handling.
If the machine is left on will it run the batteries down?
If the machine is left on, but not working, the battery will run down at a very low rate to conserve power and last 120 hours before recharging.
