First time use
Your battery will be supplied in a state of sleep from the factory. The first time you
use the battery it requires activation by being fully charged.
Storage
Batteries do not like to be stored in very hot or
very cold conditions or to be subject to conditions
of high moisture. They also do not like to be left in
a fully discharged state. If Lithium batteries are
left flat for an extended period they may no longer
be functional.
• Store your battery between 15º C and 25º C
in a dry area. (The conditions found in a
normal domestic house).
• If your Batribike is not in use for an extended
period it is imperative that you charge the
battery before storage and then charge the
battery once a month to prevent deterioration.
Charging
Lithium batteries do not like to be left discharged.
It is good practice to recharge as soon as is
reasonably possible after the battery goes flat.
We recommend charging after every ride, that
way your electric bike is always ready for your
next outing.
• Do not charge at temperatures below 0º C
• Switch off the battery before charging.
• Battery can be charged on or off the
bike.
• Always make sure the battery and
charger are on a non-flammable, dry
surface away from sources of heat,
humidity and flammable materials.
• Do not cover the battery or charger
whilst charging.
• Only use the charger supplied.
• Even if not in use recharge your
battery a minimum of once a month.
