Power battery

■
The power source of the car is a power battery, which can be repeatedly charged and
discharged repeatedly, and has an intelligent temperature control system to heat or
cool the battery as needed, so as to keep the battery in the optimal operating
conditions. The power battery can be charged with an external power source,
including household single-phase AC power and charge post single-phase AC power
and charge post DC power. When the car is braked or slips, the power battery can
also be charged with the motor driven by the engine.
Tip

The power battery is installed on the underbody. Please drive with cautions on
rugged roads.
■
Due to the chemical natures of the battery, the performance of the car may be vary in
the following cases:
●
When the power battery has high power, the feedback performance of the car will
be weakened, when the power is reduced, it will be enhanced, and the feedback
performance will be enhanced during the transition period.
●
When the power battery has low power, the acceleration performance of the car
will be weakened.
●
When the power battery is at high temperature or low temperature, the charge
and discharge capacity will be weakened. At extreme temperature and low power,
there may be poor acceleration and insufficient power.
●
When the power battery is at low temperature, its available power will be reduced,
and will be decreased as the temperature reduce.
Therefore, it is recommended to drive the car within the battery temperature range of -10℃
~ 40℃; when the battery power is low, in order to ensure sufficient driving range and good
acceleration performance, please charge the battery in time.
■
Under normal conditions of the power battery, the driving range of the car is affected
by the following factors:
●
Driving habits: The driving range with frequent acceleration and deceleration is
shorter than that at constant speed, and the driving range at high-speed is shorter
than that at low-speed;
●
Road conditions: The driving range on bumpy or slope road is shorter than that on
a flat and dry road;
●
Temperature: The driving range at low temperature is shorter than that at normal
temperature;
●
Use of electrical device: The driving range with operating air conditioning is
shorter than that without operating air conditioning.
