Why is the battery level display on the electric tricycle dashboard abnormal?
2 Answers
There are two possible scenarios: one is that some batteries are faulty, and the other is that the battery connection wires are loose. Issues in other parts usually result in insufficient power display on the gauge. If the battery is out of power but the gauge still shows full, it's definitely a problem with the power gauge, most likely due to a new gauge being incompatible with the battery specifications. Here is some relevant information: Undersized battery: Check if the tricycle has strong power. If the power is average, it means the battery is undersized, and a larger capacity battery group should be used. Electric tricycles: With advantages such as strong applicability, flexibility, simple maintenance, convenient repairs, and low cost, they can easily navigate through narrow roads. Electric tricycles are equipped with a reverse switch, allowing for convenient reverse driving, which is very practical in narrow alleys and lanes, making both driving and parking very easy.
I found that the power display on my electric tricycle's dashboard is inaccurate, which is quite annoying. The most common reason is battery aging causing significant voltage fluctuations, leading to irregular signals received by the dashboard sensor and incorrect readings. Loose or corroded wiring harness connections can also cause short circuits, affecting accuracy. Once, my vehicle suddenly showed a drop in power mid-ride, which then recovered—it turned out the plug wasn’t secured properly. Another possibility is a software issue with the controller, such as a system glitch causing inaccurate data. I recommend first checking the charging status: after a full charge, let it sit for half an hour and observe the dashboard. If it’s still unstable, use a multimeter to test whether the battery voltage is within the normal range. Additionally, environmental factors like rainy or humid conditions can worsen wiring issues, so inspect the wiring harness connections to ensure they’re dry and secure. If the problem persists, visit a repair shop and have a technician use professional equipment to diagnose the sensor or controller, avoiding misjudgments that could affect battery consumption and riding experience. Proper maintenance can extend component lifespan.
