Charging
The battery on the Cheetah is comprised of
sealed lead-acid batteries. The cells used
are can be inverted, laid down and can
be left or charged in any orientation. The
battery can also be charged in the bike, or it
can be removed and charged off the bike.
To charge, lift the carry handle to reveal the
charge port. Plug the charger plug into the
port, then plug the charger into the wall
socket and turn it on.
When charging the charger light shows red.
Once charged the light changes to green.
If completely flat, a charge can take 8-10 hours.
The batteries do not get a memory effect, so the battery can be “topped off” after short rides
without damaging the battery.
Dillenger recommends the battery be charged regularly. If the bike is stored for a long period
the battery should be charged every few weeks. Failure to do so could see the battery loose
charge which if left for a long period, can dramatically reduce the capacity of the battery.
PleaSe Note
Only charge the batteries with the specified charger. Using a different
charger could damage the batteries.
Fault
Solution
Battery doesn’t turn
on
Check that the locking pin is retracted (key turned anti-clockwise)
and that the battery is seated all the way into the bike.
Charger light stays red
for a long time
If the battery charger shows a red light after more than 12 hours
on charge, disconnect the charger and contact Dillenger, you
may have a faulty charger.
Motor runs but is slow
Check that the chain is not overtightened and that the battery is
charging properly.
