Lithium Battery Care:
When receiving the battery from new, fully charge it on a regular charge and it will be ready
for use.
In regular use, keep the battery fully charged after every few short rides. If possible try to
keep the battery between 50 and 95% charged, charging after 10 miles or so, at least once
every two months and just before your next journey.
Letting the battery run empty on a regular basis will shorten its lifespan considerably.
Never
charge the battery in
freezing
conditions. If the battery has been used in very cold
conditions, allow it to warm up before charging.
If storing the battery for any length of time without use (over the winter say), try to keep it at
around 50% charge, in a cool place inside, and if possible top up the charge a little every
month or two. This will decrease the aging process of the battery (although every battery will
slowly age whether used or not).
Lithium batteries deteriorate more quickly when stored at higher temperatures and when
repeatedly fully discharged.
When returning to use, charge the battery fully to prepare it for everyday use.
•
Keep your battery out of the weather whilst not riding the bike, preferably in a cool
place inside.
•
Always use the charger supplied with the bike. Before charging, check that the rated
input voltage matches the voltage level for your country. (For the UK it is 240V/50
AC)
•
Don’t open the charger case for any reason.
•
To recharge the battery: tip up the seat, unlock the battery, remove and connect to
charger. Alternatively the battery can be recharged while still in place on the bike, if
using this method ensure that the main power key is in the off position.
•
Ensure that you allow adequate time for charging: 4-6 hours is needed for a full
charge.
•
To charge the battery: first connect the output plug of the charger properly with the
charging socket of the battery and then connect the input plug of the charger with the
mains supply. When the red light is on charging is taking place.
•
When the light changes from red to green the battery is fully charged. After charging
disconnect the charger from the battery case.
•
Always charge the battery indoors and away from damp areas or where water is
used. When charging keep both the battery and charger away from flammable
materials or products. The charger will heat up when charging.

Our lithium batteries, if treated correctly, will have a long life. At the end of its life, the
battery should be recycled and a replacement can be bought from

The battery is deemed to have reached the end of its life when
achieving 40% of its original capacity.
