IV. TEMPERATURE LIGHT
If the light glows while
driving/charging, it indicates
overheating in either or all of the
following components:
1. Motor
2. Motor Controller
3. Power Pack
4. Charger
In cold climate, the temperature light
will flash during charge or drive, if
battery temperature is less than 10°C.
This indicates that the range of the
Reva is likely to be low.
When Vehicle is not in use, keeping it
plugged in to the utility supply under
this condition will activate the battery
heaters and warm up the batteries.
While in charge, if the light
continues to glow/flash, it
indicates increased charging time
due to high Power Pack /
Charger temperature.
NOTE
Do not charge your Reva in high
ambient temperature conditions
or in direct sunlight.This will
reduce the life of your Power
Pack.
CAUTION
. III. EQUALIZATION (Shunting
process) Batteries are programmed to
automatically perform “Equalization
Charge” in every charge cycle. This
ensures all individual batteries of
power pack are equalized when in
need. This process is not indicated to
the user.

and glows green permanently.
The light disappears when the charge
cable is removed from the charge port.
. II. LOW BATTERY LIGHT (Red)

the Power Pack drops to about 25%,
this light starts flashing. The
AC/Heating will automatically switch
OFF (if it is ON) at 25% soc
The light turns solid red once the SOC
goes down to 15%. This is a warning
and at this stage it is advisable to
charge at the first opportunity. Speed
of vehicle will be limited while if driving
