Already   described   above,   but   you   may   notice   this   during   the   winter.   If   the   range   
is   significantly   reduced,   it   could   be   because   the   battery   is   operating   in   much   
lower   temperatures.      

 

Your   battery   could   possibly   benefit   from   a   complete   conditioning   cycle,   this   
allows   the   battery   to   re-­‐learn   its   full   capacity   and   charge   state.   Please   read   the   
information   below.   

SHOULD   I   PERFORM   A   FULL   CONDITIONING   CYCLE   OFTEN?

   -­‐

   No,   the   battery   is   very   

intelligent,   the   on   board   BMS   takes   the   hassle   away   to   make   a   really   user-­‐friendly   
battery.   Really   all   you   have   to   do   is   charge   it   and   the   system   will   take   care   of   the   
rest.   The   BMS   will   self   balance   the   cells   when   charging,   it   will   control   everything   
from   deep   discharging,   over   charging   through   to   short   circuiting.   If   you   do   wish   to   
perform   a   full   conditioning   cycle   then   you   can   do   this   by   simply   discharging   the   
battery   completely   by   riding   it   until   it   is   flat,   then   charging   it   back   up   fully   with   no   
interruptions.   This   can   be   done   twice   in   a   row   to   make   sure   it   has   fully   conditioned.   
This   is   not   recommended   to   do   all   of   the   time.   Once   a   year   is   sufficient   but   not   
necessary   in   most   cases.
