The traction battery will slowly self-discharge The traction battery will slowly self-discharge
even when the vehicle is not in use. When the even when the vehicle is not in use. When the
SOC is low, parking the vehicle for a long time SOC is low, parking the vehicle for a long time
will shorten the lifecycle and performance of the will shorten the lifecycle and performance of the
power battery and affect the range of the vehicle. power battery and affect the range of the vehicle.
Therefore when the vehicle is parked for a long Therefore when the vehicle is parked for a long
period of time, it is recommended to check period of time, it is recommended to check
the remaining power capacity, which should the remaining power capacity, which should
be kept between 30% and 60%, and if the be kept between 30% and 60%, and if the
power is deficient, please arrange for charging power is deficient, please arrange for charging
immediately before leaving it idle.immediately before leaving it idle.
Refer to the table of the relationship between Refer to the table of the relationship between

It is recommended that the battery be checked It is recommended that the battery be checked
by powering it up every 3 months. If the traction by powering it up every 3 months. If the traction
battery shows a low remaining range or low SOC, battery shows a low remaining range or low SOC,
it needs to be recharged in time, otherwise, it needs to be recharged in time, otherwise,
the performance of the traction battery will be the performance of the traction battery will be
reduced due to undervoltage.reduced due to undervoltage.
Traction battery life can also be affected Traction battery life can also be affected
by ambient temperature. When the ambient by ambient temperature. When the ambient
temperature is low, the range of the vehicle temperature is low, the range of the vehicle
decreases and the charging time increases.decreases and the charging time increases.
