4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
4.1. BATTERY
The capacity of lithium batteries decreases after several charging and re-
charging cycles throughout its lifespan. The concept of life cycle exists for
lithium batteries (for example, about 300 on a scooter).This means that from
300 COMPLETE cycles of charges and discharges, the battery will begin to
lose its capacity (similar to a smartphone battery).
This partial loss of capacity will not prevent the battery from functioning, but
will alter its performances and especially its operating life.
The device must be used and its battery recharged at least once a month: a
lithium battery will lose its charge even when the product is off. This is why a
battery that has not been charged for several weeks or less could lose some
of its capacity and become impossible to recharge.
In addition, it is possible to recharge a lithium battery after each use because
there is no memory effect.
WARNING:
charging the battery must only be done indoors or in a place that
is protected from weather (rain, snow, excessive heat...)
In order to better preserve your device’s battery, here are some reminders
and instructions for use:
• Do not unplug the charger before the battery is fully charged.
• Store the product containing the battery in a cool place (temperature
> 0°C), preferably around 15°C. Be careful, as excessive heat will also damage
the battery.
• Avoid deep discharges.
• Avoid recharging the battery right after use. Allow the device to rest for
between 15 minutes and 1 hour after use before charging.
• Avoid overloads. Do not leave the charger plugged in for more than 24 hours,
as it will heat up needlessly.
Notice:
We recommend recharging the battery, if not in use, after each use
and at least once a month.
Important:
If you are not near a charging point when the battery is down to its
last quarter, we recommend switching to eco mode.
Tip:
As you drive, the battery level indicator on the display may suddenly de-
crease depending on your driving style and conditions (heavy use of the ac-
celerator, riding uphill, outside temperature below 10°C, etc.). Be aware that
