3. How to Use Your New HPC REVOLUTION
* All Revolutions are shipped at Street Legal Power Level (750 Watts or less, depending on where we
are shipping the bike). It is up to the end user to program the bike to unlock maximum power*
3.1 How to Charge Your Battery
1. Make sure your charger is the correct voltage for your country’s power requirement.
USA buyers
make sure the charger is in 115v operation mode by setting the switch on the back of the
charger.
European owners make sure to select 230v mode. This is very important
3.2
Plug the battery charger into the wall. You will now see one green light and one red light on the charger
unit.
DO NOT LEAVE CHARGER PLUGGED INTO WALL AFTER CHARGING. YOU MUST
UNPLUG CHARGER WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
Failure to do so will void your warranty.
1.
Plug in the charger plug into Built in XLR connector on the left side of the Revolution towards the
front of the bike. It is located underneath the key switch. When you plug it in, you should see the
charger light go from one red and one green, to both red, and an audible fan should kick in, indicating
charging. Your charger will charge quickly up to about 95% and then slowly charge the last few
percent as the battery self-balances each cell. Once charge is complete, the fan will turn off, and one
of the red lights will go back to green just like it looked in step 2 above.
Even though these are state of the art batteries with built in Battery Management System, safety is
always our number one priority. It is always good to monitor these batteries when charging and never
leave these fully charged for more than a couple days. NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERIES
CHARGING UNATTENDED.
If you EVER notice a battery puffing, stop charging the battery, place it outside on concrete a safe
distance away and monitor it closely from a safe distance to make sure all is O.K. Give us a call/email
us immediately if a battery begins to puff, and we will decide what the next move should be. Do not
attempt to use a battery after it has swelled and expanded or “puffed” significantly. Make sure to only
charge with “clean” pure sine wave power.
*You do not always need to wait for a full charge, you can use your batteries whenever, since they have no
memory. With that being said, for extended use, it will always be better to get a full charge so that you do not
deplete your batteries down too far when you ride. It is better in the long run to use less than 80% capacity
of the battery when riding if possible.
