How Temperature Affects Performance
The Battery Module is usually significantly warmer than the air temperature
due to heating that occurs as electricity is delivered from it (while riding) and
to it (while charging).
Riding in Hot or Cold Temperatures
The Battery Module will run at the highest efficiency when you operate it
nearest the center of the recommended operating temperature range. As with
all batteries, less energy is available at low battery temperatures. You may not
be able to travel the same distance when the Battery Module is cold as when
the Battery Module is nearer to room temperature.
If the Battery Module on the SE-3 Patroller becomes too hot while riding, the
SE-3 may activate a High Temperature Battery warning (Figure 45). Drive
the vehicle in a less demanding manner, or shut down the vehicle, to let the
Battery Module cool (see "Warnings and Faults," p. 73). Reduce performance
may be experienced while the High Temperature warning is active.
If performance is poor because of cold weather (below 32° F/0° C), try
warming up your SE-3 Patroller by bringing it into a warm environment for at
least 30 minutes.
Charging in Hot or Cold Temperatures
The Battery Module should be within the recommended charging temperature
range prior to and during charging. For the recommended charging
temperature range, see "Battery Module Specifications" (p. 47).
If the Battery Module is too hot or too cold, it may take longer to charge, or
may not charge at all.
