Battery
It is equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery for starting� When the vehicle is not in use for a long
time (≥2 months), the battery needs to be removed for storage. However, for optimal battery life, you must
properly charge the battery to provide enough power for the starter motor� When the vehicle is in frequent
use, the vehicle charging system automatically charges the battery� If the vehicle is used only occasionally
or for a short period of time, the battery may be low in power�
To avoid battery damage and power loss, do not idle the vehicle for more than 30 minutes� Otherwise, the
vehicle cannot be started�
Batteries can also self-discharge which speed depends on battery type and environment temperature�
When environment temperature rises for example, the speed could increase by a factor of 1 for every
15°C temperature rise�
Battery sulphation
A common battery failure is sulphation� When the battery is short of power for a long time, electrolyte can
be sulphated� Sulphation is an abnormal product produced by chemical reaction in battery� If the battery
sulphation occurs, the battery discharging can cause the battery plate permanent damage, and cause the
battery to be impossible to be charged� When such a fault occurs, the only way is to replace the battery
with a new one�
Battery maintenance
Always keep the battery fully charged, or it may damage the battery�
If the vehicle is driven infrequently, inspect the battery voltage weekly with a voltmeter� If it drops to below
12�8 volts, the battery should be charged( contact your dealer for inspection)� If you will not use the vehicle
for longer than 2 weeks, it is a must to charge the battery with a charger� Do not use an automotive quick-
charger that may overheat the battery and damage it�
