12.0 - Power Pack - Cold Climate Operation
COLD CLIMATE OPERATION
The G-Wiz has an estimated range
of 48 miles. The range is dependent
on a number of factors including
ambient temperature.
The capacity of the batteries is
defined at an ambient temperature
of 25ºC (77ºF). The battery
capacity reduces at lower
temperatures and hence affects the
range. Typically the range could
drop by 25% at 0ºC (32ºF).
Power Pack
Do not store or leave the car in cold
conditions when the power pack is
at 25% SOC or less.
NOTE
1. Do not leave the car in the 'open'
when it is very cold/snowy.
2. Keep the car continuously plugged
into the mains power even after
full charging - so as to keep the
battery heating system active.
(as the battery heating system is
powered by the mains voltage and
operates through the charge port.)
3. In case you see the 'temperature
light' flashing in cold climate
conditions, it indicates that the
battery temperature is below
10ºC. Make sure that you put the
car on charge immediately.
NOTE
POWER PACK HEATER PAD
The G-Wiz batteries have been
provided with a 'battery heating
system' for improving battery
performance in cold climates. It
'preheats' the batteries before a drive
so that the range is preserved.
This battery heating system is
automatically activated if battery
temperature falls below 20ºC.

12.5 EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF THE POWER PACK
• Never discharge the power pack
completely.
• Keep your car on charge whenever
possible.
• Allow the power pack to charge
completely whenever possible.
• Do not charge when the ambient
temperature is high or when your car
is parked under the sun. It is advisable
to charge in cooler temperature to
extend the life of the power pack.
• Do not drive when the needle
indicator in the power gauge is on
the red band.
• In the event you are not using your
car for more than one week, it needs
proper storing and plugged in for
charging so trickle charge can take
place.
(See this item in the section on
“Maintenance”).
•
While driving, avoid repeated hard /
sudden acceleration.
• Water the batteries in the power pack
as soon as possible after the “Battery
water level lamp” lights up and stays
on.
Regenerative braking through the
motor controller can increase driving
range by 10 to 20%. It also increases
the life of the power pack.
