This operational guide applies universally to all Lead-acid battery electric vehicles and does not pertain solely to Melex electric vehicles:

  • Charge vehicles fully every night, avoiding partial charges during breaks or mid-day. Deep cycle batteries typically require around 8 hours for a complete charge cycle.
  • Upon the low battery warning, refrain from driving until the vehicle can no longer move. Promptly recharge the batteries to prevent damage or reduced battery life due to deep discharge.
  • Maintain battery health by charging the vehicle after each daily use, irrespective of the remaining charge level indicated by the "Fuel Gauge."
  • Regularly check and replenish battery water with distilled, de-ionized water weekly, regardless of recent maintenance.
  • During the initial phase of use, allow up to 20 charge cycles for new battery packs to reach maximum storage capacity, avoiding deep discharge to preserve battery longevity.
  • Store vehicles for extended periods in "TOW" mode or disconnect the battery pack. If storage exceeds a month, drive the vehicle briefly monthly or perform a full recharge if movement is not possible.
  • Follow specific towing procedures based on vehicle model to prevent motor damage.
  • When performing vehicle maintenance, switch to "TOW" mode or disconnect the battery as a safety precaution.
  • Avoid simultaneously pressing the brake and accelerator, which could damage the motor.
  • Refrain from changing the forward/reverse switch while the vehicle is in motion to prevent potential damage.
  • Do not "freewheel" downhill with the forward/reverse switch in the middle position to avoid motor or battery damage.
  • On inclines, use the brake rather than holding the vehicle stationary with the accelerator.
  • Start on level ground rather than steep inclines when possible to prevent strain on the vehicle.
  • During cleaning, avoid directly spraying water onto the controller, battery set, and charger inlet.
  • For AC motor models, follow specific starting procedures regarding ignition and direction selection.
