Battery
The battery that comes with your Bowhead REACH is a state-of-the-art, lithium-ion battery
that’s designed to give you
years or power with proper care and use.
WARNING
Charging your battery with a charger other than one supplied by Bowhead and designed for
your specific bike can cause damage to your bike’s electrical system or create a fire
hazard. Only use a battery charger designed for your bike and supplied by Bowhead.
•
The battery should be fully recharged after each use. That way, you’ll get the
maximum range on your next ride and reduce the chance that you’ll over
-discharge
the battery, which can reduce its lifespan. There is no memory effect on this type of
battery, so charging after short rides will not cause damage.
•
Charging the battery after a ride generally takes 3 to 7 hours (see
“Estimated charging
time”
on page 17)
unless you’re performing battery balancing (see
“Balancing the
battery”
on page 16). In rare cases, charging may take longer to allow the battery
management system to balance the battery, particularly when the bike is new, after
long periods of storage, or if the battery has been completely depleted.
