4.4 Battery Care
4.4 BATTERY CARE
The performance of your car depends to
a large extent on the state of the
batteries. Taking good care of the
batteries goes a long way in getting the
best out of your car.
1. Watering:
Batteries need to be watered regularly.
Please make sure watering is done
regularly (Refer Sec. 8.5)
2. Equalisation:
Batteries tend to develop irregularities
with usage. They periodically need
'equalisation'. Please make sure that
the equalisation goes through
regularly. (Refer Sec. 3.5/3.6)
Driving your G-Wiz
3. Keep Charging:
If the car is not in use for long
periods (several days) the batteries
tend to lose charge due to self
discharge. Please keep the car
continuously plugged to the mains.
The EMS on-board will detect the
'idle' condition of the car and
automatically carry out a 'trickle
charging' every 24 hrs.. This will
ensure availability of the car anytime
you want and also conserve battery
life.

4.3 Extending Your Driving Range
Driving your G-Wiz
When the charge in your Power Pack
reduces to 35% SOC, the “Low battery
light” will start blinking. At 15% SOC,
car will automatically switch to the
LIMP-HOME mode, limiting your
acceleration and top speed. This will
ensure the Power Pack is not damaged
and also help you reach the nearest
charging point. 4.3 EXTENDING YOUR
DRIVING RANGE
1. As far as possible drive with your
Control Knob in the Forward [F]
mode.
2. Accelerate moderately.
3. Always maintain the recommended
tyre pressure in the four “Low roll
resistance” tubeless tyres
recommended for use on your Car.
4. For better average speed,
acceleration, driving range and
comfort, please ensure that
prescribed maximum payload of
227Kgs is not exceeded..
5. Avoid hard braking. The first 25mm
of brake pedal travel will gives you
full regenerative braking and increase
your driving range.
Driving in the Limp Home mode
will affect your Power Pack and also
its Warranty.
CAUTION
Always ensure right energy level for
proposed travel distance.
Your car’s Power Pack is designed to
discharge up to 80% depth of
discharge only. Therefore never try to
go below the 20% State of Charge of
the batteries to ensure extended
Power Pack life. In the event that this
situation occurs the warranty of the
Power Pack may get affected.
