12.0 POWER PACK
12.1 LOCATION
The heart of your Reva is its Power
Pack, which consists of sixteen 3.2Volt
lithium batteries specially made for
Electric Vehicles.
The Power Pack is housed beneath
the front seats. This lowers the Center
of Gravity (CG) of the vehicle thereby
ensuring high stability for Reva on the
road. This is a unique safety feature.
12.2 LIFE SPAN
The life cycle of Reva batteries is as
such that the mileage capacity will
start on full and decreases as battery
ageing. The life cycle of batteries are
around 400 cycles based on
maintenance and usage as described
in the manual
.
This is largely
dependent on maintenance and your
driving pattern.
