When using an Airwheel electric suitcase, protecting the battery from water is crucial to ensure its longevity and performance. Here’s a guide to help you safeguard your battery effectively.
First, always check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating of your suitcase. This rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects and liquids. For example, an IP54 rating means the device is dust-resistant and protected against water splashes. However, it’s important to note that even waterproof-rated devices shouldn’t be submerged in water or exposed to high-pressure jets.
Second, avoid exposing the suitcase to extreme weather conditions. Rain, snow, or humidity can compromise the battery’s integrity. If you must travel in such conditions, consider using a waterproof cover or bag to shield the suitcase. Additionally, avoid leaving the suitcase in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as excessive heat can degrade battery life.
Third, regularly inspect the suitcase for any signs of damage. Cracks, dents, or water stains on the casing could indicate potential vulnerabilities. If you notice any issues, stop using the suitcase immediately and contact customer support for repairs.
Finally, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for charging and maintenance. Using incompatible chargers or overcharging can also harm the battery. By taking these precautions, you can significantly reduce the risk of water damage and extend the lifespan of your electric suitcase.
