4.6.4 Overheat / Low Temperature Protection
●
During high-speed and intense riding, the temperature of the battery and power system may
increase rapidly due to the high power output. When the battery temperature rises to the
protection point, it will trigger the system overheat protection and automatically reduce the power
output to avoid the temperature continuing to rise and damage the components. At this time, the
orange ”Overheat” on the dashboard will light up.
●
When the weather is too cold and the Smartscooter® has not been used for a period of time,
causing the battery temperature to be too low (such as the early morning in the winter), the
battery performance will also be affected by the temperature, so the power may be significantly
reduced. At this time, the blue "Low Temperature" icon will light up.
●
When either of the "Overheat" or "Low Temperature" icons lights up, please go to a nearby
GoStation® to swap the battery with normal temperature and sufficient electricity. Normal
performance can be restored immediately.
The triggering conditions of the overheat / low temperature protection will vary according to
individual battery condition and level. Generally, batteries with higher levels are less likely to
trigger the protection. Therefore, if you need to park for a long time in cold weather outdoors, it
is recommended to swap fully charged batteries before parking.
The performance of the battery is obviously affected by the temperature, so when the weather
is cold, even if the "Low Temperature Protection" has not been triggered, you may feel a slight
decrease in performance, which is normal.
Gogoro S1 / 1 series only have the “Overheat Protection” icon.
The “Low Temperature Protection” icon of Gogoro S2 / 2 series 2018 and 2019 is a blue
snowflake icon
.
The “Overheat” and “Low Temperature” icons of VIVA series share an orange icon.
