Owner’s Manual
BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE :
1. Remove the key from the battery before charging it for models A2,
A2S, FB48 and switch into the off position for Citi +, Citi PRO, RX36, R48.
2. First, plug the charger to an 110V AC outlet.
3. Next, connect the charger to the battery.
4. Then do the opposite, always disconnect the charger from the 110V AC out-
let first then disconnect the charger from the battery. (Make sure you connect
and disconnect the cables in the correct sequence as explained above).
A full charge may require up to 8 hours without interruption.
CAN THE BATTERY BE CHARGED
AT ANY TIME OR IS IT BETTER TO WAIT
UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY DISCHARGED ?
You may charge your battery at any time, as this type of battery does not have
any ‘memory effect’ and the charger is of the ‘smart type’; it will stop charging
by itself once the battery is fully charged. Nevertheless, it is essential to never
leave the battery connected to the charger for more than 12 hours.
WHEN SHOULD THE BATTERY BE CHARGED ?
It is recommended to charge the battery as needed. For instance, if you only
use your electric vehicle during brief periods of time and for short rides, the
battery may be recharged following several such rides. If, on the other hand,
you are planning a long ride of 40 km / 25 miles or more, it is recommended
to fully charge your battery before leaving. Generally speaking, if the battery
charge indicator on the handlebar or on the battery indicates there is less
than a 50% charge remaining, charging of the battery is recommended.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN WINTER TO
MAINTAIN THE BATTERY IN GOOD CONDITION?
During the long periods when you will not be using your Velec, store the
battery inside your house after charging it completely for 8 hours; afterward,
you must charge your battery for two hours every two months.
Always use the Lithium charger supplied by Velec with a Velec Lithium bat-
tery, otherwise your charger and your battery might be damaged.
