Battery Care
7
There are two possible chargers for your battery. Please refer to the proper
instructions for your particular charger.
CHARGER WITH ON/OFF SWITCH AND 2 LIGHTS
1. Be sure the charger is OFF.
2. Connect the charger to the AC outlet.
3. Connect the charger to the battery.
4. Turn ON the charger.
5. The red light on the charger will come on indicating there is power. The second light
will be AMBER or GREEN. AMBER means the battery is charging. GREEN means
the battery has fully charged.
Sometimes after temporary disconnection, the charging status light may give a false
green reading. To verify that your battery is fully charged, switch the charger off, wait
for the charger lights to go out and switch it back on again. The charging status light
should quickly return from amber to green when the battery is fully charged.
CHARGER WITH NO SWITCH AND ONE LIGHT
1. Connect the charger to the AC outlet. The light will be RED.
2. Connect the charger to the battery. The light will change to YELLOW.
3. When the charge is complete the LED light will change to GREEN.
CARING FOR YOUR BATTERY – VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
1. It will take a maximum of 4 hours to fully charge your battery. You may interrupt the
charging at any time.
2. As Li Ion batteries do not suffer from memory effect, it is not required for the battery
to be empty to begin a charge. Top-up charging every time you’ve completed your
cycle ride is recommended. Kept in good condition, a Lithium Polymer battery
will perform at least 350
full
charge cycles, with retention of 70% from its original
capacity.
3. A new battery might take 2 - 3 charges before it performs at its full capacity.
