Battery care & safety
tery charger, you will void the warranty,
you may damage the battery, and you
could cause a fi re resulting in severe
injury or death, and property damage.
Never charge a battery continuously for
longer than 12 hours.
Charge your battery during the day and
only in rooms which have a smoke or
a fi re detector; but not in your bedroom.
During the charging process, place the
battery on a non-fl ammable surface such
as metal, ceramic, or glass.
Charger FCC information
The charging equipment provided with
your bike has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digi-
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifi cations to the battery
charger not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Storage
When storing your battery for a long
period of time (longer than two months):
Remove the battery from the bike.
Lithium-ion batteries are best stored
at a 40–60% charge level. During long
term storage, recharge your battery
to 40–60% every 90 days. Determine
charge level using either the built-in
charge indicator on the battery pack, or
the battery gauge on the bike. Batteries
slowly self-discharge when left unused
for a long period of time; if the battery
cells are allowed to reach a critically low
voltage, their lifespan and capacity will
be permanently reduced.
Always disconnect your charger from
the wall outlet and battery before stor-
ing the battery.
Avoid storing your battery in extreme
temperatures, whether hot or cold.
Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry
place. Do not allow your battery to accu-
mulate condensation, as this could cause
corrosion or a short-circuit.
