Important notes about battery charging
WARNING!
Do not cover the charger or its fan while charging, this can cause the charger to
overheat and may damage the charger and/or the motorcycle electrical components.
Avoid any contact with water or other fluids while charging the battery. If the battery,
charger or any connections become wet, immediately unplug the charger and
thoroughly dry all components.
Only charge under the constant supervision of an adult. Children must not operate
the charger.
Keep the charger and the motorcycle at least 3 m (10 ft) away from flammable items and
direct sunlight during charging.
Never dismantle or disassemble the supplied charger. Never use the supplied charger
for any purpose other than charging a KUBERG Challenger motorcycle.
Battery removal and installation
During normal use, KUBERG does not recommend removing the batteries from the
KUBERG Challenger. If you need to replace the battery or remove it, KUBERG highly
recommends taking the motorcycle to a certified technician or a KUBERG dealer.
If you choose to remove or replace the battery yourself, please follow the following
instructions carefully:
1
Ensure the power switch is in OFF position.
2
Stabilize the motorcycle using an additional stand on the rear wheel (sold separately).
3
Using the Allen wrench #3 loosen and remove 2 bolts on the right side panel and
gently slide this panel up to remove it.
4
Unplug the battery connectors, one at a time. Note the direction and position of the
battery and the terminal for each wire. When it comes time to reconnect, each wire
must be connected to the correct terminal.
5
With the Allen wrench #5 loosen and remove 1 remaining bolt holding the battery in
the frame.
6
Push the remaining positive and negative wires to the front and sides of the
motorcycle, so the battery pack can be carefully pulled out.
7
With the help of other person gently remove the battery out from the frame. Be extra
careful to the wires and connectors.
8
To install the battery, reverse the procedure above and ensure all connectors are
secured and all bolts are tightened properly. Tightening torque for the battery bolt
(removed during step 6) is 9,5 - 10,5 Nm, for side panel bolts use 2 - 3 Nm.
WARNING!
Incorrect connecting the battery wires to motorcycle terminals may cause irreparable
damage to motorcycle electrical components.
Short term and long term storage
If you do not plan to use your Challenger for an extended period of time (2 weeks or more),
disconnect the battery from the controller, also disconnect it from the charger and keep
your battery pack at 50 - 60% of its capacity (48,3 - 49,6 Volts). Store the motorcycle in
a dry and cool place at temperatures between 5 - 15°C (41 - 59°F). The battery MUST
be stored in a place that is NOT warm. It is not advised to place the battery in a freezer,
since the battery voltage would sag badly. If you decide to remove the battery and store
it in a cooling box, please wait until the battery warms to room temperature prior to the
reinstallation of the battery back into the motorcycle.
WARNING!
Our motorcycles can be stored indoors only if the battery is physically disconnected.
Keep the motorcycle and the battery away from excessive heat and/or open flames.
Avoid long term exposure to direct rays from the sun.
Keep the charger, the battery and the motorcycle at least 3 m (10 ft) away from
flammable items and direct sunlight during charging and/or storage.
If you have any questions about the batteries or their usage, please do not hesitate to
contact the KUBERG Customer Service ([email protected]).
