TIPS TO CONSERVE BATTERY
LIFE
1. Battery Charging
It is advisable to
charge the vehicle
upto 100%. This en-
sures accurate SoC
calculation and con-
sistent energy con-
tent intake during
charging. Charging to
100% also maintains battery health for
longer time and ensures better range
throughout the life cycle of the vehicle.
It is also advisable to slow or home charge
the vehicle to 100% as much as possible.
Slow Charging and full charging is the best
way to charge your vehicle to maintain the
health of the high voltage battery.
If fast charging is used, it is advisable to
slow or home charge the vehicle from less
than 20% charge to 100% for every 4 fast
charging cycles.
2. Cell Balancing Or Equalization
Cell balanc-
ing or equal-
ization and
SoC calibra-
tion happens
during charging, especially at higher SoC,
> 90%. This causes charging to take
longer time above 90%. Allow the vehicle
to reach 100% SoC before terminating the
charging session, as both cell balancing
and SoC calibration are essential steps for
any battery to perform optimally for a pro-
longed time.
3. Extreme Temperatures
Extreme tempera-
tures impact upon
how well a battery
can maintain its level
of charge. Avoid
charging the high
voltage battery when
it is hot and vehicle is
driven for long distances especially in
summers. Allow vehicle temperature to
cool down before charging. It is always
which can have impact on environment
and are harmful if not handled/disposed
of carefully. There is a risk of severe
burns and electrical shock that may re-
sult in serious injury while additionally
posing a risk of environmental damage.
