About the battery
Lithium-ion battery
The lithium-ion battery used in the vehi-
cle features high energy density and
has a high voltage (approximately three
times that of nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or
nickel-hydrogen (Ni-MH) batteries),
meaning it can be made both compact
and lightweight.
Nickel-cadmium and nickel-hydrogen
batteries have a memory effect that
causes their capacity to degrade quick-
ly as a result of repeated partial dis-
charging and charging, so that they
need to be completely discharged peri-
odically. Lithium-ion batteries can be
repeatedly partially charged without
needing to be fully discharged.
Lithium-ion battery degradation
The charge capacity of the lithium-ion
battery gradually decreases over time
and usage. The rate of capacity degra-
dation varies based on the usage con-
ditions.
TIP
It is not necessary to use up the
battery before charging.
Storing the vehicle in an extremely
hot or cold place could degrade
the lithium-ion battery capacity
more quickly.
Even if the lithium-ion battery is not
used, it discharges and degrades
gradually over time.
Recycling the battery
Lithium-ion batteries can be recycled. If
the capacity decreases excessively
due to degradation, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the battery. Always fol-
low local regulations regarding the dis-
posal of batteries.
Disposal
The battery charger and packaging
should be stored for environmen-
tal-friendly recycling.
Do not dispose of the charger as
household waste.
For EU countries:
According to the European Guideline
2012/19/EU, electrical devices/tools
that are no longer usable must be col-
lected separately and disposed of in an
environmentally correct manner.
