If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period,
be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you
do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge
remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not
attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
Storage (consider storage, 30 days+)
If you do not use your bike for a period of 30 days or more, it is
recommended that you charge or discharge the battery to approximately
30% to 60% of the capacity before storage. Then remove the battery and
store it separately from the bikes in an area, free of direct sunlight at
temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C. Then routinely, check the battery,
once every 30 days.
We recommend storage in uninhabited rooms with smoke detectors that are
not designated for use in escape routes.
+ The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above 20 °C) will reduce
the battery storage life
++ To help determine when the battery is at approximately 30-60% charge level, you can check
the display unit on the bike. 2-3 illuminated LED battery bars on the bikes display unit will
sufficiently represent the desired 30-60% level. Alternatively, if you want a more accurate
measurement, you can take the battery to a specialist battery retailer, who could do this for
you.
