OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Charging the battery
Batteries
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR TAMPER WITH THE
BATTERY IN ANY WAY. DOING SO WILL CAUSE CHEMICAL,
ELECTRICAL AND/OR FIRE HAZARDS.
Batteries that lay dormant for an extended period of time will lose their ability to accept
charge. Please make sure you ride and recharge your bike periodically to prevent this
from happening. Charge the batteries every two months, even if the vehicle is not being
used.
If you let your battery completely discharge due to prolonged usage or lack of use, it can
become damaged and may need to be replaced.
You will void your battery warranty if you do not periodically (at least every
two months) recharge your battery.
You should recharge the batteries after every use for optimum performance and battery
life. The average battery life for a Lead Acid battery is about 300 cycles. One cycle is
one complete charge and discharge of the battery. You will need to replace your
batteries when they no longer hold a sufficient charge.
Recharging the Batteries
It is important that you charge your batteries after every use. This will extend
the total life of your battery. Once the charger has indicated that the battery is fully
charged, unplug the power source from the bicycle and from the electrical outlet and
store in a cool (59
°
- 86
°
F or 15
°
- 30
°
C), dry (10% - 70% humidity) place. Do not leave
the battery charger plugged in for long periods of time. This can damage the batteries.
The battery may be recharged on the bicycle without removing the battery box from the
bicycle frame. If you choose to remove the battery to recharge, exercise care when
removing to avoid damaging the charging cables.
To charge your batteries:
1.
Turn the on/off power switch on your bike to the “off” position.
2.
Insert the Charger’s plug into the battery box charging port.
3.
Plug the battery charger into the wall outlet.
4.
Turn the charger on.
5.
The charger will take 6-8 hours to recharge the battery completely. When the
green light appears the battery is sufficiently charged. If possible, continue to
charge the battery for 2-4 hours additional, when possible.
6.
Do not charge for more than 10 hours – to avoid overcharging and damaging the
battery, especially in hot weather.
7.
Charge the bike in a dry and clean place. Keep the charger dry and clean. The
charger will become warm during charging.
