3 Battery care
3.1 Before you use the battery for the first time it is best to give it a full deep
charge
for 12 hours. To fully condition your new battery give it complete deep
charge, discharge cycles for the first three charges. This is achieved by
charging your battery for 12 hours and then using the bike until the battery
is completely drained. After this “conditioning” process you can then
charge and discharge the battery as and when you require for long or short
periods.
3.2 If you are going to leave your battery uncharged for more than eight weeks it is
best left half charged. You should then re charge it every four weeks for
two hours to keep it in top condition.
3.3 Before setting off on any journey it is always better to have a fully charged
battery
3.4 Always remember that you use up to three times more power when setting off
under the twist throttle. To preserve the life of each charge always set off
using pedal assist
3.5 Do not expose the bicycle or battery pack to fire, heat sources, acid or alkaline
substances
3.6 When leaving your bicycle during hot weather always leave in a shaded well
ventilated area
3.7 For best results always recharge the battery at room temperature
3.8 Before unloading the battery make sure it is turned off at the key, then raise
the saddle and unload the battery using its handle
3.9 If your battery is damaged or appears to be overheating for any reason
immediately return it to your retailer for advice and a safety check
4 Recharging your battery
4.1 First connect the output connector plug with the battery (Refer to the recharge
point picture), then connect to the mains. Make
sure the charger is turned off and connect the
charger to your battery then turn on the charger.
Red and yellow lamps on the charger indicate the
battery is charging, when the yellow light turns
green the battery fully charged. Always turn off the
charger and disconnect from the mains after
charging. Always disconnect the charger from the
mains before disconnecting the charger from the
battery. It is possible that the battery will take up to
12 hours to charge on the first three charges.
