OPERATION INFORMATION 

Owner’s Manual

If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the battery should be fully charged and stored, and charged at least 

once a  month.  The  charging  time  is  24  hours. A  safe  charge  and  discharge can  be  performed when  conditions 

permit, and an equalization charge can be performed before reuse

 

 

Replacement of battery

 

When  the  service  life  of  the  battery  is  close  to  completion,  the  electric  capacity  will  drop  sharply,  and  the 

continued  mileage  of  the  vehicle  cannot  meet  the  needs.  At  this  time,  the  battery  should  be  replaced  in  time. 

Consult the manufacturer for the method of battery replacement. 

6.3 Charging the battery pack 

 

Please  use  the  smart  charger  equipped  with  this  car  to  charge  the  battery  to  ensure  the  service  life  of  the 

battery

 

 

When charging, the key switch must be off.

 

 

The  charger  will generate a certain  amount  of  heat during the working process. When using it, the charger 

must be placed a little higher from the ground so that the air can flow under and around the charger to take away 

the heat.

 

 

Do not block or obstruct the air passage of the charger's cooling holes. Excessive temperature will seriously 

damage the charger and may cause a fire. If you use the charger outdoors, beware of rain and sun.

 

 

Avoid  overcharging  the  battery.  Overcharging will  cause  the  electrolyte  solution  to  drain  from  the  battery. 

The discharged electrolyte solution can damage the storage capacity of the car and the battery.

 

 

 

It is strictly forbidden to charge the battery in direct sunlight. Do not charge the vehicle immediately after the 

vehicle has been used, especially when the temperature is high. Wait for the battery to cool before charging, so as 

not to cause the maintenance-free battery to swell or the flooded battery to lose water too quickly.

 

 

When charging, first confirm whether the AC power supply is consistent with the input power indicated by 

the  charger.  After  confirmation,  connect  the  input  end  of  the  charger  to  an  AC  socket  of  rated  voltage,  and 

connect the output end to the charging socket of the car. Reliable plugging is required, the green indicator light is 

on to indicate that the charging is complete. The charger will automatically cut off the power after charging to 

prevent overcharging.

 

 

Pay attention to being supervised while charging 

 

WARNING

 

 

Do not smoke near batteries. 

 

Do not overtighten terminals. Doing so can result post breakage, post meltdown, or fire. 

 

When  the  AC  power  plug  is  not  unplugged,  the  plug  on  the  electric  vehicle  cannot  be  unplugged, 

otherwise an electric arc will occur, and the plug will be damaged.
