Data shows that lead-acid battery electric bicycle is the consumables, brand battery to be replaced for one year two years.
"Aucma electric cars a maintenance point of sale, Compaq Evo N1020V battery the new battery trade-in 330 yuan, if the direct purchase, it is necessary 490 yuan." Just here for the very fact that the electric vehicle batteries, said, maintenance staff, said the old batteries should be Depot, Depot Lane, after the battery lead out to create a new battery.
The reporter again visited Zhengzhou several brand repair shop, maintenance staff and the very fact that the situation say about.
However, according to an informed source speaking, there are many battery electric vehicle flow of the salvage station, where they are drained the battery acid inside the post, and then remove the battery inside the metal lead the sale.
