FOIL

CARE

To provide you with a pinnacle FOIL riding 

experience, we engineered an ultra-smart 

and power-packed battery that will keep you 

out on the water longer and onshore recharg-

ing for less. Although we took the time to en-

gineer the most advanced battery on the e-foil 

market, it is up to you to maximize its longevity 

by ensuring proper care before and after your 

ride session.

BATTERY CARE

WARNING: Only use the provided charger to 

charge your FOIL. Use of any other charger will void 

your warranty and may damage your FOIL.

WARNING: All electronic and ride components 

may only be repaired by FOIL or a FOIL authorized 

service provider. Any other adjustments will void 

your warranty.

 

WARNING: Don’t begin any repairs or adjust-

ments on your FOIL until you properly under-

stand how to complete them. An improper 

adjustment or repair may result in damage to 

your FOIL or potentially serious injury. A qual-

ified FOIL mechanic should perform complex 

services, maintenance and repairs in a properly 

equipped facility.
