ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 

 

The type of battery used in a Columbia vehicle has a service requirement which is quite different 

from that of an automotive battery. 

 

The electric vehicle battery supplies all of the power to drive the vehicle. During operation the 

power  stored  in  the  batteries  is  expended.  While  the  amperage  drain  rate  can  vary  greatly 

depending  on  the  type of  service,  the  duration of  use  and the  number of "starts"  and  "stops" 

made  during  a  day,  the  batteries  nevertheless  progress  through  each  duty  cycle  from  "fully 

charged" to an almost depleted state. This type of service is known as "deep cycle" service and 

electric vehicle batteries are specifically designed to handle this type of service.  

 

Proper performance of your Columbia Vehicle can only be obtained from specified deep cycle, 

electric vehicle batteries. 

 

PLEASE REVIEW IMPORTANT DANGER STATEMENTS WHEN WORKING NEAR 

BATTERIES AND CHARGING SYSTEMS! 

 

 

Battery acid is poisonous and can cause severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, 

or clothing.  
ANTIDOTES:  
EXTERNAL: Flush with water. Call a physician immediately.  
INTERNAL:  Drink  large  quantities  of  milk  or  water.  Follow with  milk  of  magnesia  or 

vegetable oil. Call a physician immediately.  
EYES: Flush with water for fifteen minutes. Call physician immediately.  

 

 

 

Always  remove  key  and  disconnect  battery  pack  before  servicing  or  repairing  the 

vehicle. See BATTERY DISCONNECT METHOD.  
Always wear full-face shield when working on or near batteries.  
All  batteries  used  in  electric  vehicles  can  explode!  Batteries  produce  explosive 

hydrogen gas at all times, especially, during charging or discharging. Ventilate area 

when charging batteries.  
Do not attempt to charge a battery if it is frozen, or if the case is bulged excessively. 

Frozen batteries can explode! Properly dispose of the battery.  
Do not smoke around batteries. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries and the 

charging area. Use care to prevent an accidental arc which could cause an explosion. 

Use only approved insulated tools, remove jewelry such as rings, watches, chains etc. 

and  place  an  insulating  material  (wood,  plastic,  rubber  etc.)  over  all  battery 

connections.  
Never add acid to a battery.
