Battery Maintenance
The batteries for this vehicle have high current, high capacity, and a long lifetime. To keep the
vehicle in good performance, it is very important to maintain it in the correct procedure.
The connectors on the batteries are the output connectors. Keep the area clean and dry, with no
foreign matter or dust on it. Proper care will ensure batteries’ performance and longevity.
WARNING: Do not use tap water when filling cells. Use distilled water only!
Check the height of the electrolyte periodically. Check it once per week in summer and once every
two weeks the rest of the year. Standard height level is 10-15mm (½“) higher than the battery
plate. If is too low, please add the recommended distilled water.
Keep the wiring well-connected. After using the vehicle initially for 2-3 days, the completed
inspection for all connectors should be carried out. Inspect the vehicle once a week following. Any
loose or rusty connectors should be fixed. Loose or rusty connectors can cause high temperature,
damage, or possible sparking.
