OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Charging the battery
CAUTION: Do not attempt to open or tamper with the battery in any way. Doing so
may cause chemical, electrical and/or fire hazards.
Batteries that lay dormant for an extended period of time will lose their ability to accept
a charge. Please make sure you ride and recharge your bike periodically to prevent this
from happening. Charge the batteries every two months, even if the bike is not being
used.
If you let your battery completely discharge due to prolonged storage and lack of use, it
can become damaged and may need to be replaced.
Recharging the Batteries
It is important that you charge your batteries after every use when two or
more lights of the battery display have gone out. This will extend the total life of
your battery. Once the charger has indicated that the battery is fully charged, unplug
the power source from the bicycle and from the electrical outlet. It is best for the battery
to be stored in a cool place (59
°
- 86
°
F or 15
°
- 30
°
C) with 10% - 70% humidity. Do not
leave the battery charger plugged in for long periods of time (more than 10 hours). This
can damage the batteries.
Do not remove the battery box from the bicycle frame while recharging to
avoid damaging charging cables. You can, however, remove the battery from the
bike after you have turned the power off. To remove the battery, unplug the power
cord and lift the battery by the handle. Once the battery has been completely
removed from the bike, it can be charged independently.
To charge your batteries:
1.
Turn the on/off power switch on your bike to the “off” position.
2.
Insert the charger’s plug into the battery box charging port. (see illustration on
page 15)
3.
Plug the battery charger into the wall outlet.
4.
Turn the charger on.
5.
The charger will take 6-8 hours to recharge the battery completely. When the
green light appears the battery is sufficiently charged. If possible, continue to
charge the battery for 2-4 hours additional, when possible.
6.
Do not charge for more than 10 hours – to avoid overcharging and damaging the
battery, especially in hot weather.
7.
Charge the bike in a dry and clean place. Keep the charger dry and clean.
8.
The charger will become warm during charging.
9.
You can also charge the battery when it has been removed from the bike.
