- It is strictly prohibited to lose power during storage
The battery of an electric sightseeing vehicle must not be in a depleted state during storage. Low battery state refers to the electric sightseeing vehicle not being charged in a timely manner after use. Storing batteries in a depleted state can easily lead to sulfation, with lead sulfate crystals adhering to the electrode plates, blocking the ion channels and causing insufficient charging, resulting in a decrease in battery capacity. The longer the idle time in a low battery state, the more severe the battery damage. Therefore, when the sightseeing bus is idle, it should be recharged once a month to better maintain the battery in a low state.
- Regular inspection
During use, if the range of the sightseeing bus suddenly drops significantly in a short period of time, it is likely that there is a problem with the battery pack. At this point, it is necessary to promptly contact after-sales for inspection, repair, or assembly. This can relatively extend the lifespan of the battery pack and maximize cost savings.
- Avoid high current discharge
When starting, carrying passengers, or going uphill, electric sightseeing vehicles should try to avoid sudden acceleration and the formation of instantaneous high current discharge. High current discharge can easily lead to the formation of lead sulfate crystals, which can damage the physical properties of battery plates.
- Correctly grasp the charging time
During use, the charging time should be accurately grasped based on the actual situation, and the charging frequency should be determined by referring to the usual usage frequency and driving mileage. After being fully charged, the battery should be charged for a short period of time, and the charging time should not be too long, otherwise overcharging will occur, causing the battery to heat up. Overcharging, overdischarging, and undercharging can all shorten the battery life.
- Prevent exposure to direct sunlight
Electric sightseeing vehicles are strictly prohibited from being exposed to sunlight. An environment with excessively high temperature can increase the internal pressure of the battery, causing it to lose water, leading to a decrease in battery activity and accelerating electrode aging.
- Avoid overheating of the plug during charging
Loose 220V power plug or charger output plug, oxidation of contact surface, and other phenomena can cause the plug to heat up. Prolonged heating time can lead to short circuit or poor contact of the plug, damaging the charger and battery, and causing unnecessary losses. So when the above situation is found, the oxide should be removed or the connector should be replaced in a timely manner.
- Regularly check tire pressure
Maintain tire pressure at the correct level; Tire pressure must be checked every two weeks or at least once a month; Incorrect tire pressure can cause power consumption, short driving range, reduced driving comfort, decreased tire life, and decreased driving safety.
