Monsoon-Proofing Your E-Rickshaw
As the monsoon arrives with refreshing rains and cooler air, it also brings a fair share of challenges for electric rickshaw owners. At Sodyco, we understand the vital role your e-rickshaw plays in your livelihood, and we’re here to help you keep it running safely through the rainy season.
Here are some e-rickshaw monsoon maintenance tips from Sodco:-
1. Keep the Battery Dry and Elevated
Water is one of the biggest threats to your e-rickshaw’s electrical system. Avoid parking in low-lying or flood-prone areas. If possible, elevate your e-rickshaw’s battery housing or install a waterproof battery cover, designed specifically for maximum protection during the monsoon.
2. Regular Cleaning to Prevent Corrosion
Moisture and dirt can build up on your battery terminals and connections. Clean them regularly with a dry cloth and apply anti-rust spray if necessary. Sodyco offers maintenance kits and spare parts to ensure your terminals stay clean and functional.
3. Use a Smart Charger
Humidity can interfere with normal battery charging. Avoid overcharging by using a Sodyco fast charger, equipped with auto cut-off functionality to prevent overheating and long-term damage.
4. Don’t Let It Sit Idle
Even if business slows down due to rain, try to use your e-rickshaw at least once a week. Regular use keeps the battery active and prevents sulfation, a condition that weakens battery capacity over time.
5. Inspect and Replace with Genuine Sodyco Parts
Rain and moisture can accelerate wear and tear. Listen for odd sounds, reduced power, or a drop in range. Always replace faulty parts with genuine Sodyco spare parts to maintain safety, efficiency, and warranty protection.
Final Thoughts
Monsoon-proofing your e-rickshaw is not just about avoiding breakdowns—it’s about protecting your investment. Sodyco is committed to providing reliable electric mobility, rain or shine. Drive smart, stay dry, and trust Sodyco to keep you moving.
