4.4 EFFECTS OF TEMPURATURE:
Temperature plays a critical role in the battery performance and life cycle. At higher temperatures,
battery capacity generally increases; as the temperature drops, so does the capacity. This is why
riding your E-Bike at 20 degrees Celsius will give you better performance and range than riding at 5
degrees Celsius. While keeping the batteries cold may seem like a great idea in theory, you need to
make sure that they do not get too cold. In our climate here in Canada, storing E-bike batteries in an
unheated garage, garden shed or outdoors will most likely cause them to freeze. This results in
permanent damage to the internal lead plates or plastic casings. Make sure you store your batteries
where it won
’
t freeze.
4.5 BREAKER SWITCH:
The Breaker switch can be found under the seat of the bike. The seat needs to be
unlocked using the key. The keylock for the seat is on the left side of the bike just below the seat.
If the E-bike does not show any power on the LED Digital display screen check to see if the breaker
switched off. The breaker switch can be turned off when you want to store the bike for a long period
of time. Storing it with the breaker switch off keeps the battery from drain but will also shut
off the E-
bike’s alarm.
4.6 BATTERY STORAGE: IMPORTANT WARNING - STORING YOUR E-BIKE FOR A LONG TIME WITHOUT
CHARGING
WILL DEPLETE THE BATTERY:
•
If you do not charge the bike while it is being stored while the alarm is on, it will draw power and drain the
battery until it is dead. At that point the bike may no longer charge anymore.
•
The battery should be stored between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius. To maintain battery lifetime, store at 50%
to 100% charge capacity, and recharge the battery every 6-8 weeks.
•
Check the main power switch also known as circuit breaker or main breaker and turn it off if storing the
bike/battery for a long time.
•
Batteries can be brought back, by charging each one 12V INDIVIDUALLY at a time with a 12V CHARGER
(car battery charger). After you have charged each battery individually you can now use your original E-
bike charger as previously before as normal
.
•
If you want to do a voltage check you must own a multimeter and put it on the voltage setting if the bike
does not have a factory voltage display as a feature already.
4.7 CLEANING CARE:
Carefully wipe plastic parts with a damp cloth, then let air dry or wipe with a dry cloth. Protect all electrical
wires and components inside the bike from water. Lubricate all moving parts as indicated in Regular
Maintenance Time Table (4.8)
