The battery management system is equipped with a function to display and communicate various
information about the battery.
Battery Information Communication
The battery management system has a built-in function to establish communication with the
drive unit and the charger. It exchanges various types of information during charging and
discharging processes.
Out of Guaranteed Temperature Range Indication ·
Malfunction Diagnosis Indication
1. If the battery temperature gets below -5°C, the
capacity gauge will be unable to indicate the
precise capacity. Therefore, the capacity gauge
will blink to inform you that the battery tem-
perature is beyond the guaranteed temperature
range.
2. If the temperature sensor that is built into the
battery fails, the fourth LED will blink.
3. If the temperature of the battery becomes
abnormally high, the LEDs 1, 3, and 5 will blink.
CAUTION
If the battery will not be used for a long time, store it in a dry area, at a
temperature between 0 and 30°C. In addition, charge at least once every three
months.
Both the charger and the vehicle will show a communication malfunction if
communication is disabled due to the deformation of the contact points or the
entry of foreign matter.
