Battery care:
This is still relevant even if you sourced your battery elsewhere.
Some care is needed to ensure your battery performs at its best and lasts as long as possible. All batteries
age over time and so the distance you will get from a full charge will gradually decrease, so to ensure you
get the most from your battery, follow the instructions below.
Charge the battery once or twice per week or as needed.
Do NOT charge the battery in extremely cold conditions. If the battery is being charged indoors, remem-
ber to allow the battery to warm up to room temperature before charging.
If the battery is not in regular use i.e. over the winter, you should charge the battery for around 10-15
minutes every three—four weeks. This will slow the aging process and will help the battery to last as long
as possible. When the bike is to be put back into service, fully charge the battery.
General battery care:
Do not attempt to open the outer casing of the battery.
Do not attempt to repair the battery.
Do not immerse the battery in water.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not drop, pierce or otherwise damage the battery casing.
Ensure the battery is not exposed to temperatures above 55 degrees Celsius or extreme humidity.
Do not use your bike in an environment where temperatures are below -5 or greater than 55 degrees Cel-
sius.
