Plug both charger plugs to the connectors shown above.
NOTE:
You may hear a “pop” sound when you plug in the charger
that comes from a spark
that occurs inside the connectors when the two connectors mate. This occurs if you
haven
’
t plugged the charger into the AC outlet first. The spark results from the potential
difference between the battery and the charger.
WARNING: ONLY USE THESE CONNECTORS TO CHARGE.
EVEN THOUGH THESE BATTERIES
HAVE BUILT-IN BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, A BMS FAULT OR FAILURE MAY
OCCUR. IF YOU EVER NOTICE A BATTERY PUFFING, STOP CHARGING THE BATTERY, PLACE

“PUFFED” SIGNIFICANTLY.

A red light should appear on each charger within a few seconds and the fan in each charger
may turn on. Wait until the light on the charger turns green for a full charge. Depending on
the amount of charge remaining in your battery, you should expect a full charge in fewer
than 3 hours. If the battery fails to charge or the light fails to turn red, please look at the
troubleshooting section for further information.
NOTE: You do not always need to wait for a full charge, you may use your batteries at any
time. It is better in the long run to use less than 80% capacity of the battery when riding if
possible
.
