2. Unplug your battery from the power extension cable. Please ensure to pull on the yellow
connectors when unplugging electronics and not the cables.
3. Remove the plastic cover from the charger port and plug the charger
into the battery’s
charging port. With the battery removed from the bike, place the charger on a flat, secure
surface and connect the DC output plug from the charger to the charging port.
4. Plug the charger into a power outlet. Connect the charger input plug (
110/220-volt plug
)
to the power outlet. Charging should initiate and will be indicated by the LED charge status
light on the charger turning red. When charging is complete, one indicator light will turn
green.
5. Unplug the charger from the outlet, then the charging port. Once fully charged, indicated
by the light turning green, unplug the charger from the wall outlet first and then remove the
charger output plug from the battery charging port. Be sure to pull gently on the plugs, not
on the cables themselves.
NOTICE
The charger is designed to stop charging automatically when the battery is full.
Nevertheless, leaving your battery charging longer than necessary can cause needless wear.
We recommend you remove the charger from the battery within one hour of the green light
indicating a complete charge. Store the charger carefully, making sure its plug does not
come in contact with liquids, dirt, debris, or metal objects, which can damage the plug and
interfere with future operation.
WARNING
Charging your battery with a charger other than one supplied by Bowhead and designed for
your specific bike can cause damage to your bike’s electrical system or create a fire
hazard. Only use a battery charger designed for your bike and supplied by Bowhead.
