5.2.1 The battery charger
Your battery can be charged in or out of the Vélo Cargo. The charger must be plugged into an AC
wall socket and be protected from moisture. The battery is connected to the charger using the socket
underneath the battery handle.
A Red light on the charger means the battery is charging. When the red light turns green, the battery
is fully charged.
NB - Please ignore the green light and carry on charging for 12 hours for the first 3 charges to
condition your battery.
IMPORTANT:
Your VeloCargo’s electronics are rain and splash resistant and can
be used in all weathers. However the electrical components, such as motor, battery,
and controller, must not be submerged in water.
TIP:
Tip:
•
Always connect the charger to the battery before connecting it to the mains.
•
Always disconnect the charger from the mains before disconnecting the
charger from the battery.
•
Do not leave the charger connected to the mains when not in use.
