Battery care and information
Proper maintenance of batteries will maximize their lifespan and capacity. Currie Technologies® warranties your new
batteries from the date of purchase only if properly cared for—refer to the limited warranty for details.
Currie uses SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) or Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries in all of our hybrid electric bicycles and scooters.
These are both very user-friendly types of batteries when cared for properly.
care
Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Every time the battery is discharged and subsequently
recharged, its relative capacity decreases by a small percentage. You can maximize the life of your battery by following the
instructions in this guide.
• Batteries should be fully charged immediately when they are received for the full recommended charge times.
sla recommended charge time:
6-10 hours (depending on model)
li-ion recommended charge time:
4-6 hours (2-3 hours for Via Urbano). For a complete, 100% charge, leave
the battery on the charger for one full hour after the charger indicator light turns green.
• Never charge batteries for longer than 24 hours.
• SLA and Li-Ion batteries do not have a “memory.” Partial discharge/charge cycles will not harm the batteries’ capacity or
performance.
• The rated output capacity of a battery is measured at 77°F (25°C). Any variation in this temperature will alter the
performance of the battery, and shorten its expected life. High temperatures especially reduce overall battery life & run
time.
• Currie bikes and scooters are equipped with a five-minute sleep function. If no activity is detected after five minutes,
the bike/scooter will go into “stasis” mode to conserve battery power. Simply cycle the bike/scooter off then on again to
re-activate the battery.
• Always be sure to turn the bike/scooter power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you leave the power switch in the “ON”
position, or your product has not been charged for a long period of time, the batteries may reach a stage at which they will
no longer hold a charge.
• Be friendly to the environment! Be sure to recycle your old batteries at a local battery-recycling center. Do not throw them
in the garbage! Check www.call2recycle.org for more information on free battery dropoff locations.
