Electric Vehicle Battery Maintenance
All
Electric Vehicle from our company are supplied with a sealed lead
acid battery.
The battery is designed specially for use in electric powered
vehicles such as an electric golf buggy and features a high cycling
life, high efficiency and long service life.
Understanding how to maintain sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries will
help you maximize the usable life of the unit.
Maintenance is very different to maintaining the common car battery
in that there is no water to "top up" and you don't use an
automotive type charger to charge it. Using an automotive charger
will damage your unit and void your warranty.
Maintenance is easy just follow these simple instructions:
1.
When
not in use the battery should be connected to the supplied smart
automatic charger and be left constantly "On Charge" until you
require it for use.
2. After use
return the unit to the charger as soon as possible and put - leave
"On Charge".
3. Do not
turn the charger off when it indicates fully charged. The charger is
designed to fully charge the cells and then switch over to a
maintenance trickle charge.
Leaving on charge will not cause any damage
and will help maximize the cell life.
******
Don't
let your unit run completely flat
as this will shorten its
life dramatically
and could make recharging
difficult.
