Summer Storage Tips for Your IC Bus® Electric CE Series Bus

             

To keep your electric bus running smoothly after summer storage, follow these essential tips:

  • • Maintain State of Charge (SOC): Keep between 40% and 90% to extend battery life during long storage periods.
  • • Regular Charging: Charge to 100% SOC at least every three months.
  • • Optimal Temperature: Store at temperatures below 95°F (34°C). Avoid temperatures above 122°F (50°C).
  • • Periodic Driving: When possible, drive the bus to keep all systems in good working order.
  • • Watch for Energy Loss: Extended storage can lead to temporary energy losses. Higher temperatures can increase the self-discharge rate.

Ensure your IC Bus® Electric CE Series is ready to roll when you are!
