Armada Avenger - Distance and Power Factors; Effects of Temperature on Batteries

INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL

• DO NOT place your lead acid battery on concrete. Concrete drains the batter’s power and
will neutralize the lead-acid. Placing the battery on concrete for any length of time will
likely result in the battery being drained of power and possibly losing its ability to store
electricity.
• Always lift the battery with both hands and carry it with care. Never drop the battery. If the
case is damaged, the contents may leak out.
• Never puncture or open the battery case. The contents are dangerous and may cause injury.
Do not touch the contents of a leaking battery.
• Do not touch the two metal poles on the battery box at the same time. This can cause a short-
circuit. It could cause injury
to you or others and can cause serious damage to the
electrical system of the e-bike.
• Do not handle your battery if either you or the battery are wet. Water is an excellent
conductor of electricity. You may experience an electrical shock and serious injury.
4.3 DISTANCE AND POWER: The e-bike can go up to a distance of
35 to 50km before it must be recharged. The ability of your
battery to power your e-bike depends on many variables. These
variables include the weight of the rider and cargo, the
prevailing wind resistance, steep hills and inclines, and tire
pressure.
4.4 EFFECTS OF TEMPURATURE:
Temperature plays a critical role in the battery performance and life
cycle. At higher temperatures, battery capacity generally increases; as
the temperature drops, so does the capacity. This is why riding your
scooter at 20 degrees Celsius will give you better performance and
range than riding at 5 degrees Celsius. While keeping the batteries cold
may seem like a great idea in theory, you need to make sure that they
do not get too cold. In our climate here in Canada, storing E-bike
batteries in an unheated garage, garden shed or outdoors will most
likely cause them to freeze. This results in permanent damage to the
internal lead plates or plastic casings. Make sure you store your
batteries where it wont freeze.
