Let’s learn some tips for maintaining your e-rickshaw battery!

• Proper Installation

Proper installation is extremely necessary for the upkeep and future of the battery when you get to install your E-rickshaw battery in your vehicle, make sure that it is placed in a well-ventilated space for the passage of air. Furthermore, when the battery is getting charged or is under operation, it gets heated up. So, airy space can help the heated battery cool down and thus, reduce the requirement for water toppings.

• Turn-off functions –

You should turn off functions such as lights, music, etc. when you exit from your Electric rickshaw. Also, do not keep a battery idle for a long period of time. It can wear a battery down.

• Check the water level regularly-

The best thing you can do to extend your battery life is to check the water level regularly at least once every month. Also, make sure that the battery level is maintained between the minimum and maximum limit. If the water level is getting down below the minimum level, fill it with only distilled water and not tap water for better performance and long life. 

• Check battery condition regularly –

If you find out that the battery is damaged or dead immediately replace it. To do this, you should check the battery condition regularly so that you can find the issues at an earlier stage and get them repaired or replaced. If you are using a battery for a long period of time, it is natural that it can get corroded. Therefore it becomes more essential to check its condition regularly.

• Proper self-maintenance techniques–

Use a dry cloth for cleaning the battery and apply petroleum jelly on the cable clamps and terminals for lubrication but never apply grease.

•  Check Battery Terminals–

Check your battery terminals on a regular basis, especially if you often drive on rough paths.

• Pay attention to clamps–

Make sure that the clamps are always firmly tightened and fixed to the correct poles.
