Low-voltage Battery
Maintenance of Low-voltage
Battery
This vehicle is provided with maintenance-
free low voltage battery.
To extend the service life of low-voltage
battery and ensure the normal operation of
electric system, the following suggestions
are given:
• When driving in a cold region, prevent
the low-voltage battery from fully
discharged; to avoid the electrolyte from
frozen.
• Avoid overcharging or leaving the low-
voltage battery in low charge condition
for long time.
• In case the low-voltage battery is low in
charge level, recharge it in time via
external battery charger.
• Keep the low-voltage battery away from
any heat and open fire sources. When
the low-voltage battery is being charged
or used, make sure there is enough
space for ventilation, to prevent any
casualties.
• Install the low-voltage battery in the
vehicle securely to prevent vibration.
• Inspect whether the clamps of low-
voltage battery terminals are securely
installed and well contacted, to avoid
sparks which may cause the low-voltage
battery to explode.
• Park the vehicle in a cool, ventilated,
clean and dry environment. If the vehicle
is parked in closed and humid
environment for long time, the vehicle
parts may easily get rusty and become
aging before time. Follow the
recommendations and requirements to
carry out regular maintenance on the
vehicle in time.
Replacement of Low-voltage
Battery
When replacing the low-voltage battery,
make sure to use the same model and
specification of low-voltage battery. Contact
the PROTON e.MAS service outlet for
removal, replacement and installation of the
low-voltage battery.
Different models of low-voltage
batteries have different terminals. In
case the low-voltage battery terminals and
the wiring harness terminals is mismatched,
this will lead to failure to tighten, and there is
a risk of breaking down.
After the low-voltage battery is
replaced, hand over the used battery
to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service
outlet for disposal, or deliver it to the
certified collection depot. There is a highly
corrosive toxic substance in low-battery.
Please keep the battery in its upright
position when transporting and storing.
If the low-voltage battery has
overheating failure, it may produce
harmful gases. Leave the vehicle as soon
as possible.
