Q: Will I get more performance from my bike if I leave the batteries to charge longer?
A: No, once the batteries are fully charged (as indicated by the light on the charger) it is best to unplug them from the charger.
Leaving the batteries charging longer than necessary is called “overcharging” and will not increase performance. Currie-supplied
chargers are designed to avoid over-charging a battery. Still we recommend that you always unplug a charger after the unit is
fully charged to avoid the possibility of unanticipated circumstances such as an unexpected power surge from a lightning strike
(or other power line anomaly) potentially causing damage. Only use Currie-supplied chargers.
Q: Is it normal that the batteries get warm when recharging?
A: Yes, it is normal that the batteries will become warm to the touch during the recharging process. This is because the increase
of internal resistance and less energy conversion effi ciency from electric energy to chemical energy.
Q: How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
A: Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries does not last forever.
