Battery Care
Follow these suggestions to maintain your battery’s optimal performance. If you do not
follow these suggestions, your battery may lose its ability to maintain a charge and might
have to be replaced sooner than would otherwise be necessary.
•
Charge it: Charge your battery immediately after riding it.
•
Full Charge: Do not allow the battery to run down completely and lie in storage
without a charge. This significantly reduces the battery’s lifespan and may cause
damage.
•
Keep it Charged: When being stored, charge the battery occasionally to make
sure its power supply does not run down. Charging it once every 21 days should be
sufficient.
•
Storage Conditions: Store the battery on a flat, cool, dry surface. Do not allow the
battery temperature to drop below 10 degrees Celsius for extended periods of time.
Warning
DO NOT
place your Lead-Acid battery on concrete. Concrete drains the battery’s power
and will neutralize the lead-acid. Placing the battery on concrete for any length of time
will likely result in the battery being drained of power and possibly losing its ability to
store electricity.
Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer
temperatures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in
temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to
be replaced sooner.
Replacement and Disposal
After approximately 300 charges, a lead-acid battery will need to be replaced. A lithium-
ion battery will last approximately 1000 charges. When the battery has to be replaced,
you will notice that your battery cannot carry as much of a charge as it could initially.
Contact your local Daymak dealer to purchase a new battery.
When replacing your battery, dispose of it at a proper municipal battery recycling facility.
If none is available, please contact your local Daymak dealer.
