4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
4.1. BATTERY
The capacity of lithium batteries decreases after several charging and recharging
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...)
BATTERY SWITCH BUTTON :
The device is equipped with a battery switch button located next to the charging port
that serves two purposes:
1.
Preserve the battery when the product is switched off.
2.
Act as a second safety device in case of an untimely start using the ON/OFF button
on the handlebar.
CAUTION:
The battery switch must be activated again in order to restart the device.
Battery switch button
(long-term storage)
The battery will drain even when the product is switched off. This button reduces
the power consumption when the product is switched off to preserve the battery for
longer. However, it is important to recharge your device regularly as described in this
manual. In either position, this button does not prevent the product from charging.
It must be in the ON position for the device to work. It also serves as an additional
safety device against accidental start-ups.
