36 Battery Drain Alarm
Kone · Elevator Control
What does 36 mean?
An alarm indicating excessive battery drain has been triggered, suggesting a higher than normal current draw. This condition limits the drive speed.
Common Causes
- High current draw from the battery, possibly due to an electrical load or system inefficiency.
- Internal fault in a connected electrical component causing parasitic drain.
- Aging battery with reduced capacity and increased internal resistance.
Repair Steps & Checklist

- 1
Measure the battery terminal voltage under no-load conditions and compare it to the specified nominal voltage.
- 2
Inspect all battery cables and connections for corrosion, looseness, or physical damage.
- 3
Verify the battery charger's output voltage and current when connected to the battery to ensure proper charging function.
- 4
Check the battery's manufacturing date and last replacement record to assess its expected lifespan.
- 5
Monitor the total current draw from the battery during both standby and operational states to identify any excessive or unexpected loads.
