12.5 EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF THE POWER PACK
• Never discharge the Power Pack
completely.
• Keep your Reva on charge whenever
possible.
• Allow the Power Pack to charge
completely whenever possible.
• Do not charge when the ambient
temperature is high or when your
Reva is parked under the sun. It is
advisable to charge in cooler
temperature to extend the life of the
Power Pack.
• Do not drive when the needle
indicator in the Power Gauge is on
the red band.
• In the event you are not using your
Reva for more than one week, it
needs proper storing and plugged
i n
for charging so required charge can
take place and also keep the
batteries warm.
( See this item in the section on
“Maintenance” ).
•
While driving, avoid repeated hard /
sudden acceleration.
!
Regenerative Braking through the
Motor Controller can increase
driving range by 10%. It also
increases the life of the Power
Pack.
!
Drive the vehicle up to 10% SOC
at least once a week to get the
best out Reva battery.

12.0 - POWER PACK - COLD CLIMATE OPERATION
COLD CLIMATE OPERATION
The Reva has an estimated range
of 80 kms. The range is dependent
on a number of factors including
ambient temperature.
The capacity of the batteries is
defined at an ambient temperature
of 25ºC (77ºF). The battery
capacity reduces at lower
temperatures and hence affects
the range.
Typically the range could drop by
30% at 0ºC (32ºF).
Power Pack
Do not store or leave the Reva in
cold conditions when the power
pack is at 25% SOC or less.
NOTE
1.Do not leave the
Reva
in the
'open' when it is very cold/snowy.
2.Keep the
Reva
continuously
plugged into the mains power
even after full charging - so as to
keep the battery heating system
active.
3.In case you see the 'temperature
light' flashing in cold climate
conditions, it indicates that the
battery temperature is below
10ºC. Make sure that you put the
Reva
on charge immediately.
* Optional / Export Vehicles
NOTE
POWER PACK HEATING
The Reva batteries have been
provided with a 'battery heating
system' for improving battery
performance in cold climates. It
'preheats' the batteries before a
drive so that the range is
preserved.
This battery heating system is
automatically activated if battery
temperature falls below 20ºC.
