7.13 Battery pack
The battery of the ETrek is inside the battery pack. The casing of the
battery pack makes it possible to protect all the cells composing the
battery against the aggressions of the external environment. Up to a
certain limit, the battery pack is protected against splashing water,
dust and other harmful elements for the battery (rain, driving in dry
weather). However, the user must be careful not to use the ETrek
motorcycle under extreme conditions, otherwise the vehicle may be
damaged irreversibly (full immersion of the motorcycle).
The battery pack uses a set of lithium-polymer cells assembled in
series. These elements have been tested to obtain the best
performance while maintaining maximum reliability.
The battery of the ETrek motorcycle does not require a specific
running-in period. However, it is important to note that the maximum
capacity of the battery will be obtained after
about 10 cycles of full
charge / discharge of the vehicle.
The battery pack is sized to achieve the best possible reliability
/ performance ratio. It is possible, however, that certain maintenance
operations take place during the lifetime of the vehicle.
All work on the electrical components of the motorcycle, and
especially on the battery pack, is accompanied with risks of arcs if
precautions are not taken.
This work requires special training, qualifications and tools.
Therefore, all work that is not explicitly described in this manual, and
which concerns an electronic device, must be carried out only by an
Electric Motion
qualified electrician.
Do not open the engine or the vehicle battery pack. If there are any
problems with these items, contact
Electric Motion
Customer Service.
When receiving the motorcycle, it is important to charge the
battery pack according to the recommended battery charging
procedure.
Be sure to turn off the motorcycle after each use or for a long
period of inactivity. Make sure that all lights turn off when the ignition
key is switched off.
Battery management system (BMS)
The BMS (battery management system) is an internal component of
the battery pack. It allows the management and the control of all the
cells of the battery during the charging of the vehicle and the use of
this one (discharge of the battery).
The BMS therefore protects the battery with the help of safety
interlock.
