6. Although there is no danger of over-charging, we advise that you disconnect the
battery and switch the charger off when the charging process is completed.
7. Although batteries can be stored on the bike in the garage or a good weather-
enclosed storage area,
it is recommended that the batteries not be stored for
extended periods of time at a temperature of over 80F or below freezing.
8. If the bike is not being used, we recommend the batteries be charged for an hour
or so once a month. This will keep the battery from being fully discharged and will
extend the life of the battery. Leaving the battery in a discharged state for long
periods of time will cause permanent damage.
USING THE BATTERY – EXENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
1. Assist the bike as much as possible, especially on steep hills.
2. Try to avoid fully discharging the battery. It may be possible after the battery is
discharged to turn off the bike, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on to get some
more power. This pulsing (turning off and on) will permanently damage the battery.
3. The battery can be used in about any weather from 32F to 100F. Extreme heat or
extreme cold somewhat reduce the battery range.
4. Charge the battery after every use;
however, after a long ride you should let
the battery cool for about an hour before it is charged
. There is no “memory”
problem as there is on some batteries on power tools. The battery can be charged
at any level.
