Long Term Storage
•
If you do not plan to use your Ultra Motor electric bicycle for an extended period of
time (1 month or more), remove the battery from the bicycle for storage.
•
Fully charge the battery for at least twelve hours before storing the battery.
•
Fully recharge the battery for at least twelve hours at least every 30 days of storage.
•
Store the battery in a cool (50º to 70ºF, 10º to 21ºC), dry place. Avoid direct
exposure from the sun.
•
CAUTION: Your Ultra Motor electric bicycle is supplier with a very high
capacity lithium ion battery. This battery incorporates a microprocessor-
controller Battery Management System (BMS) to insure that the battery
performs reliably and safely during the course of its service life. To operate,
the BMS uses a small amount of electric energy to run the microprocessor
ALL OF THE TIME, even when the bicycle is not in use. In other words, the
BMS is always on, consuming a small amount of power from the battery.
This power drain is inconsequential under normal use, as the battery is
recharged on a regular basis. However, if the electric bicycle is not used for
an extended period of time, this constant power usage will eventually
completely drain the battery, resulting in permanent damage. Therefore, it
is VERY IMPORTANT that you recharge the battery AT LEAST every 30
days if the bike is not in use. Failure to follow this battery maintenance
procedure will void the warranty.
If you have any questions about this battery or its usage, please do not hesitate to contact
the Customer Service Department at (415) 693-3110.
