Understanding The Charger’s Indicator Lights
The supplied MOTORINO™ charger is fully automatic and has two indica-
tors lights to tell you what is happening. One red LED indicates that it
is connected to power, while the second LED changes between red, to
indicate “charging” and green, to indicate “full”.
Normal charger/indicator behaviour is as follows:
When the charger is connected to AC power but not plugged into
•
the bike’s charge socket, you will see 1 red and 1 green light.
When the charger is then connected to a bike that needs charging, it
•
will enter the “bulk-charge” mode and both lights will appear red and
the fan will run.
When a full charge is reached, it goes into “float mode” and the lights
•
will return to 1 red, 1 green.
NOTE:
Because the un-connected indicator state matches the fully-charged
state, always verify that charging has begun by looking for the 2 red
lights and listening for the fan. If you are not sure if the bike even
needs charging, just ride the bike a for a bit or rev the motor (with the
bike on the main stand and rear wheel in the air) to make it start the
charge cycle.
NOTE:
If you should happen to connect the charger only to the bike but not
to AC power, only one red LED will light. This light is being powered
by the battery pack and will only help drain it, so don’t leave your
charger plugged into the bike when not also connected to AC power.
Approximate Charging Times
Time to fully charge an empty pack:
20 A-h lead-acid pack: 8hrs.
•

•
26 A-h LiFePO
•
4
