Starting power of lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures

Preparing the vehicle for difficult operating conditions

Info
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can result in signifi-
cantly increased wear of components, such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this
reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service.
Info
Check the air filter approx. every 30 minutes.
If humidity, corrosion, or damage is found:

Preparing the vehicle for rides on dry sand

Lithium-ion batteries are far lighter than lead batteries, have a low self-
discharge rate, and have more starting power at temperatures over 6 °C
(43 °F).
Several attempts to start may be required. Press the start button for
5 seconds, and wait 15 seconds between attempts. At low tempera-
tures, wait for 30 seconds. The pauses are necessary so that the heat
created can distribute through the lithium-ion battery and the lithium-
ion battery is not damaged.
The starting power increases as the battery warms up.
Always make sure the lithium-ion battery is charged to that there is

enough power to spare for starting at low temperatures.
After 6 unsuccessful starting attempts, do not try again, and check the
vehicle for other malfunctions instead.
