Battery Charging
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 your battery is fully charged the green light will come on, unplug the power source from the
bicycle and the electrical outlet and store in a cool, dry place. Do not leave the charger plugged into the battery for long
periods of time as this can damage the battery.
1. Turn the key to OFF and remove the key.
2. Insert plug of the charger into charging port of the battery box or the
charging port of the bike as in picture. You can charge your battery while
still in the bike or your can take it out of the bike and charge where it is
most convenient.
3. Insert the charger into the wall outlet.
Do not plug charger into outlet
until you first plug the charger into the battery charging port.
A red
light will come on. It can take up to 8 hours to recharge the battery
completely. On most chargers, a green light will appear when it is fully
charged.
4. When the light turns from red to green, it indicates that the battery is full.
If possible, charge for an additional 2-3 more hours to fully balance the
battery.
After the green light comes on, the charger is in trickle charge mode. If
you will be gone for many hours, you should unplug the charger for safety.
This is especially true in hot weather. The charger will become warm during
charging, so keep charger away from any flammable materials. The charger
may reach 185ºF (85ºC) during normal charging. You can also charge the
battery when it is removed from the bicycle. This is especially convenient
during cold nights or when your bike is not parked near an electrical outlet.
Because specifications of the charger may change in the process of production,
please read the information on the charger itself or the charger manual (if
included) in detail before using.
Always charge the bike in a dry and clean
place. Keep the charger dry and clean.
