Effective use of
the battery If the battery is left nearly fully charged
(4–5 segments shown on the battery
charge indicator) and exposed to high
temperature for an extended period, it
will rapidly deplete. To extend the bat-
tery life, handle as follows:
Choose a cool place with no direct
sunlight when charging the bat-
tery.

Do not store the battery with a
charge less than 20% (below the
last segment of the battery level in-
dicator) for an extended period of
time.

Choose a cool and well-ventilated
place without direct sunlight for
storing the vehicle.

When not used for a long period of
time, charge the battery until the
2–3 segments of the battery
charge indicator are shown and
then store the vehicle in a cool
place (optimum temperature 15  C
– 25 C). Check the battery level
while the vehicle is in storage. If
the battery level drops to the last
segment, recharge the battery until 2–3 segments of the battery
charge indicator are shown.
NOTICE
ECA17072
If the battery is discharged until the
battery is depleted, recharging will
not be possible and the battery willnot be usable.

Battery level TIPBe sure to check the battery level be-fore each ride.
Checking the battery level
Check the number of segments dis-
played in the battery level indicator.TIPWhile charging the battery, the indica-
tor shows the progress status of charg-
ing. This differs from the indication of
remaining charge when the vehicle is inuse. See page 6-9.
Battery level indicator
When the key is turned to “ON”, all seg-
ments of the battery level indicator
come on for a few seconds, and then
show a general indication of the re-
maining battery charge corresponding
to the amount of the electric output.

Temperature warning display
“HEAT”/“COOL”
The EC-03 is equipped with a tempera-
ture protection function to protect the
battery and control unit.
If a problem is detected, the tripmeter/
odometer display is canceled and
“COOL” or “HEAT” flash.

When the temperature of the bat-
tery or control unit exceeds a spec-
ified temperature, “HEAT” flashes.

When the temperature of the bat-
tery falls below a specified temper-ature, “COOL” flashes.
TIP
When the temperature of the bat-
tery exceeds a specified tempera-
ture, “HEAT” flashes and the
driving power is reduced to limit
the electric output from the battery,
but this is normal.

When the temperature of the bat-
tery falls below a specified temper-
ature, “COOL” flashes and the
driving power is reduced to limit
the electric output from the battery,
but this is normal.

If the vehicle is ridden for an ex-
tended period in high tempera-
tures, “HEAT” may flash and the
riding speed may be reduced.

If the vehicle is ridden after it has
been left in a hot place or under di-
rect sunlight, “HEAT” may flash
and the riding speed may be re-
duced.

If the vehicle is ridden after it has
been left in an excessively cold
place (less than 0
C), “COOL”
may flash and the riding speed
may be reduced.


When the battery level indicator
shows less than two segments, if
the vehicle is exposed to higher
temperatures, “COOL” may flash
and the riding speed may be re-
duced.

When riding on a long uphill
stretch, “HEAT” may flash and the
riding speed may be reduced.

When riding on a long uphill
stretch, the temperature of the
control unit may rise and “HEAT”
may flash. If you ride continually,
the operating status indicator
“RUN” goes off to protect the con-
trol unit and further riding may be
impossible, but this is not a mal-function.
The vehicle can be ridden when the op-
erating status indicator “RUN” appears
in the display, however riding speed
may be reduced. This is due to reduced
electric output from the battery be-
cause of high battery temperature. If the battery level indicator shows less
than two segments, or the electric out-
put from the battery is limited because
of the battery temperature, the riding
power is substantially reduced, but this
is not a malfunction.
When the battery and control unit have
reached their normal operating temper-
ature and the operating status indicator
“RUN” appears, the temperature warn-
ing display automatically changes back
to the tripmeter/odometer display.
If the operating status indicator “RUN”
does not appear, the vehicle cannot be
ridden.Turn the key to “OFF” and allow the
battery and control unit to cool down
before riding again.
TIPWhen the operating status indicator
“RUN” disappears and riding cannot be
continued, the temperature warning
display can be canceled by turning the
key to “OFF” and then back to “ON” af-
ter the battery and control unit havecooled down.
WARNING
