Keep the battery indoors in a dry space, clear of heat or flame sources and out of direct sunlight.
Do not store the battery in high temperature or high humidity places.
The easiest way to keep your battery cool in hot weather is to avoid keeping your ebike in direct
sunlight. This will reduce the temperature of the battery by a few degrees.
Another place to avoid storing batteries during hot weather is in a car in direct sun. On a sunny day,
a car can easily get up to 120°F and get over 170°F on hot days.
Store your battery above 32°F (0°C) and below 140°F (60°C). Store with battery level between
30-60% charge & avoid storage when fully empty or fully charged. Generally, Lithium-Ion batteries
can lose about 3-5% of their charge per month while being stored.
Only charge the battery indoors in dry spaces and the ideal temperature for charging your battery
is between 10 - 25°C.
Store and use the charger in a safe place away from children and where it cannot suffer damage
from falls or impact.
Before beginning each charge you need to check the charger, charger cables and battery for any
damage.
Charge the battery on a non-inflammable surface with a smoke/fire detector in place.
Do not charge the battery in a wet and humid place or anywhere exposed to strong sunlight and
make sure there is no dirt or debris near when using the charger.
Never charge the battery with chargers other than the supplied charger you received from vBike.
Avoid leaving the battery unattended while charging.
Do not leave the charger plugged in when the battery is fully charged.
Avoid charging the battery if you notice any damage, extreme heat, leakage, smells or discoloration.
The charger should be on a hard, flat surface in an open space because the air circulation makes
the charger cool. Avoid covering up the charger when the charger is plugged in or charging. The
indicator lights should face upward. Do not use with the charger inverted because it can prevent
cooling and decrease charger lifetime.
Avoid submerging the battery in any kind of liquid.
Avoid touching the terminals at the back of the battery and keep them clear of debris.
During plugging and unplugging from the wall, always grab the charger by the plug not the cable.
Operate your ebike battery below the temperature of 140°F (60°C) in summer and in winter above
14°F (-10°C) and if you are going to ride out in the cold, keep the battery at room temperature
before doing so.
