2. Battery Care and Safety
The AR Ī V eBike is equipped with a modern Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. The battery is protected by a battery
management system that protects against overcharging, short circuits and a completely discharged battery. Your battery
is not shipped with a full charge. Please charge your battery as soon as you take it out of the carton. This may take up to
3 hours. Optimal battery temperature range is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) to +40 degrees Celsius (104
degrees Fahrenheit). Please remove the battery from the bike using a 5 mm hex key if you need to remove it for storage
or replacement.
•
Keep charger in a safe place away from children.
•
Fully charge the battery before each use to extend the life of the battery and help to reduce the chance of over-
discharging the battery pack.
•
Do not charge the battery with any other chargers then what was originally supplied with your AR Ī V eBike or a
charger purchased directly from AR Ī V eBikes for use with your specific bike.
•
The charger works on 110/220 V 50/60 Hz standard home AC power outlets. The charger automatically detects
and accounts for incoming voltage.
•
Avoid charger contact with liquids, dirt/debris or metal objects.
• Store the charger in a location where it cannot suffer damage from falls/impact.
• The charger should only be used indoors in a dry ventilated space.
WARNING: Please take special care in charging of the AR Ī V eBike in accordance with the above
procedures and safety information. Failure to follow proper charging procedures can result in
damage to your AR Ī V eBike, charger, personal property and/or serious injury or death.
WARNING: Failure to properly use, charge and store the battery as instructed will void the warranty. Never
disassemble the battery or open the battery case. Never charge a battery you suspect is
damaged.
Noticeably reduced operating time after fully charging the battery can be a sign that the battery is damaged or reaching
the end of its service life.
