7. BATTERY CHARGING, CARE AND USE
About Lithium Batteries
At Elite Bikes we want you to use our products with confidence. Your new Elite Bikes LiMg204
battery uses the safest and most reliable chemistry available today. Although your new battery
is equipped with an advanced battery management system (BMS) to protect and maintain its
performance, we still suggest the following precautions be maintained.
Battery Care Precautions
Do not put the battery into fire, or heat the battery; do not store the battery in high temperature
environment.
Do not let the battery terminals (+ and -) contact a wire or any metal (like a metal necklace or a hairpin)
with which it carried or stored together, may cause short-circuit.
If struck or damaged, return to Elite Bikes dealer for inspection.
Do not disassemble or alter the batteries' outside structure as this will void the warranty.
Do not submerge battery in water, or store in a wet environment.
Battery should be charged with supplied charger only, in compliance with correct operation contents.
Do not use the battery with other maker's batteries, different types and /or models of batteries such as
dry batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, or nickel-cadmium batteries, or new and old lithium
batteries together.
Do not leave the battery in a charger or equipment if it generates an odour and/or heat, changes color
and/or shape, leaks electrolyte, or cause any other abnormality.
When not in use we recommend that you charge your battery at monthly intervals.
Use the battery level meter as a guide. The battery should be charged when it reaches low voltage.
The battery can be used in temperatures ranging from -20
o
C to 70
o
C (-4
o
F to 158
o
F).
A fully discharged battery will take 3 to 4 hours to recharge to 100% or 90 minutes to reach 85%.
Lift the carrying handle on the battery to reveal the battery charging point on the side. Connect the
charger to the battery before plugging into the main supply. This will prevent “sparking” at the battery
connection and protect the battery charger from damage. Unplug from the mains before disconnecting
the charger from the battery. The charger is a “smart charger” and will automatically power off when
the battery is fully charged.
