3 Battery care
3.1
Before you use the battery for the first time it is best to give it a full deep charge
for 12 hours. To fully condition your new battery give it complete deep
charge/discharge cycles for the first three charges. This is achieved by charging
your battery for 12 hours and then using the bike until the battery is completely
drained. After this “conditioning” process you can then charge and discharge
the battery as and when you require for long or short periods
3.2
If you are going to leave your battery uncharged for more than eight weeks it is
best left half charged. You should then re charge it every four weeks for two
hours to keep it in top condition
3.3
Before setting off on any journey it is always better to have a fully charged
battery
3.4
Do not expose the bicycle or battery pack to fire, heat sources, acid or alkaline
substances
3.5
When leaving your bicycle during hot weather always leave in a shaded well
ventilated area
3.6
For best results always recharge the battery at room temperature
3.7
Before unloading the battery make sure it is
turned off at the key and unlocked, pull the
battery box from the rear carrier housing. Please
refer to the picture
3.8
If your battery is damaged or appears to be
overheating for any reason immediately return it
to your retailer for advice and a safety check
4 Recharging your battery
4.1
First connect the output connector plug with
the battery (Please refer to the recharge point
shown), then connect to the mains. Make sure
the charger is turned off and connect the
charger to your battery then turn on the charger.
Red and yellow lamps on the charger indicate
the battery is charging, when the yellow light
turns green the battery fully charged. Always
turn off the charger and disconnect from the mains after charging. Always
disconnect the charger from the mains before disconnecting the charger from
the battery. It is possible that the battery will take up to 12 hours to charge on
the first three charges.
