3.2 Charge Duration / 3.3 Ideal Time to Charge
3.2 CHARGE DURATION
The time taken to charge your car
completely is approximately 8 hours.
You can however, obtain upto 80%
charge in approximately 2.5 hours.
Usually, the Power Pack will only need
“topping up” and you will achieve full
charge in lesser time.
Charge duration may vary:
e.g..
1) If you have returned from a long
drive and your Power Pack is hot, while
you attempt to charge, the time taken
could be longer. This is because the
computerised system in your car will
wait till the temperature of the Power
Pack lowers before enabling the charging
process.
2) In conditions <10° C or >45° C
temperature the battery charging
duration will exceed.
3.3 IDEAL TIME TO CHARGE
The car can be charged anytime,
anywhere. However, charging at night
has the following advantages:
1. Normally, most of your
requirements for city mobility are
during the day. Hence, charging
at night will not interfere in your
daily travel plans.
2. If the temperature of the
environment where you are
charging your car is cool, the
life of the Power Pack will be
extended.
