Replace the battery if there are leaks, visible breaks or
cracks.
Dispose of used batteries by taking them to a recycling
center, or according to state and local laws.
Battery Temperature Sensitivity
Ambient temperature will affect almost every kind of
battery. Usually, the battery shows good discharging
capability at higher air temperature. When the air
temperature is under 0 ºF, the battery power will decline
more than one third. So it is natural that the XB-420M will
not reach its normal mileage in winter or in cold weather.
When the air temperature is up to 68 ºF, the XB-420M
will achieve its normal range capability.
When the ambient temperature is over 110 ºF (as when
exposed to summer sunshine for a long period), batteries
and other electric components usually run in an abnormal
fashion.
What Does “Maximum Range” mean?
To determine the XB-420M’s maximum per-charge
distance, the testing environment was:
Rider weight: 180 lbs
Air temperature: 77 ºF
No headwind, smooth, level road, infrequent
braking and steady speed.
Under these conditions, the XB-420M’s maximum range is
up to 35 miles.
