2.3 Charging the battery
The electric bike is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery, which powers the motor.
Unlike other batteries, Lithium-ion batteries do not have any "memory effect" and can be
recharged even if they are not completely discharged. The battery reaches its full capacity
after being charged and discharged several times. The battery should be charged for 7
hours, the first time.
First, connect the charger to the battery. The battery connection is located on the right-
hand side of the battery.
Only then should the charger plug be inserted into an electric socket.
During charging, the charger's red LEDs light up, to indicate that the battery is being
charged.
The green LEDs light up when the battery is completely charged.
After charging, first remove the plug from the socket. The charger plug should not be
removed from the battery until after this has been done.
If the red LEDs do not light up, it is possible that the battery is too hot.
In this case leave it to cool before charging.
There is a battery charging indicator on the top of the battery. By pressing in the red
button, you can check the state of the battery. The LEDs indicate the state of the
battery:
5 LEDs = the battery is 100% charged.
3 LEDs = the battery is between 70 and 40% charged.
1 LED = The battery is between 40 and 0% charged.
If no LEDs are lit up, the battery is completely discharged and should be
recharged.
