2.4 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
• Only charge the battery with the included charger.
• When not using the battery for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50%. Check the charge condition after six months. When only one
LED of the charge-control indicator lights up, recharge the battery again to approximately 50%.
• Once the battery is charged, unplug the battery from the charger and unplug the charger from the wall socket.
• A Li-Ion battery will self-discharge over time. If the battery is left uncharged then stored without charging, it may discharge to such a low state
that the battery can no longer be charged and must be replaced.
• Store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated location. Protect the battery from moisture and water.
• Under unfavorable weather conditions, it is recommended to remove the battery from the bicycle and store it in a protected location.
• The battery can be stored at temperatures between -4°F (-20°C) and 113°F (+45°C). For a long battery life, however, it is best to store the battery at
room temperature of approximately 68°F (20°C).
• If the bicycle is not ridden for an extended time, do not store the battery on the bicycle.
