Basic Battery Charging Tips
o
The battery should be recharged after each use. There is no memory effect so you can charge the battery after short rides
without damage.
o
The battery can be recharged on or off the bike.
o
Remove the battery by turning the key and then pulling the battery forward and up until the battery detaches from the
mating receptacle.
o
The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery pack is full.
o
Always charge in dry locations and indoors away from direct sunlight, dirt or debris.
o
Do not cover up the charger when plugged in or charging, it air cools and needs to be left in an open space. Do not charge
with the charger in the inverted position which can inhibit cooling and reduce the chargers life.
o
Check the charger cables, charger and battery for damage before beginning each charge.
o
The light on the charger will turn green when charge is complete and stay red while the battery charges
o
Charging normally takes 3-5 hours, however it can take longer when you first receive the bike since the battery pack is
balancing.
