  • Charging time: Typically 6-8 hours for a full charge using the standard charger.
• Charging Routine:
  • Recharge the battery after each use to ensure optimal performance.
  • Avoid letting the battery fall below 20% to prolong its lifespan.
  • The vehicle’s onboard display will show the battery’s State of Charge (SOC) while charging.
