Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer tempera-
tures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature
extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to
be replaced sooner.
Handling the Battery
The battery contains large amounts of electrical power. You must use caution and respect
when handling it. Not following these instructions can result in serious injury.
Warning
Follow these instructions closely. Use care when handling your battery.
• Always lift the battery with both hands, and carry it with care. Never drop the
battery. If the case is damaged, the contents may leak out.
• Never puncture or open the battery case. The contents are dangerous and may
cause injury. Do not touch the contents of a leaking battery. Seek help immediate-
ly.
• Do not touch the two metal poles on the battery box at the same time. This can
cause a short-circuit. It could injure you or others and cause serious damage to
the electrical systems in the e-bike. Your battery contains signifi cant amounts of
electrical power.
• Do not handle your battery if either you or the battery are wet. Water is an ex-
cellent conductor of electricity. You may experience an electrical shock, and you
may be injured.
