Long Term Ba ery Care
When storing your ba ery for a long period of me (more than 60 days):
Charge the ba ery to about 75%, then recharge every 60 days as needed to maintain this level. Allowing your ba ery to sit
for longer than 60 day periods in a discharged state could lead to permanent capacity loss and void your warranty.
• Ideally ba eries should be stored between 50°F/10°C to 80°F/27°C. Avoid long periods of freezing and extreme heat,
104°F/40°C or higher.
• Do not leave the ba ery in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of me.
• Keep the bike in the shade during summer months.
• Store the ba ery in a clean dry loca on with low humidity condi ons.
• Do not allow the ba ery to accumulate condensa on such as dew, heavy fog or rain, as this could cause shor ng.
• Do not clean or wash the ba ery with pressurized water; wipe with a damp cloth only and towel dry completely.
• Do not connect the ba ery to the bike in wet condi ons.
• Do not submerse the ba ery in water.
Extending the Life of Your Ba ery
To help extend the life of the ba ery, assist the bike as much as possible. A few ps to prolong the ba ery life during certain
condi ons are as follows:
• Always turn your ba ery key “OFF” a er each use, as the electrical system will s ll draw minute power from your
ba ery.
• Charge the ba ery frequently. If possible, before using 50% of the power.
• When star ng from dead stop, use the pedals to bring the bike up to speed.
• When riding uphill or against the wind, pedal to supplement the ba ery power.
• When the ba ery meter indicates the voltage is low, switch to the lowest pedal assist mode or 0 to avoid using the
ba ery and shortening the ba ery life.
• Do not ride your bike in heavy rain storms, thunder showers, or extreme condi ons.
• When riding downhill, you must have the key and King Meter® Controller in the “ON” posi on, as the motor will
generate electricity.
Having the key in the “OFF” posi on may damage your ba ery, controller, or electrical parts, and
may void your warranty.
• Store your ba ery in a loca on with a temperature above 50°F/10°C for best results.
