BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
Charging time guidelines
Although charging time varies depending on residual bat-
tery capacity and external temperature, if the battery has
been exhausted, it generally takes approximately 4 hours
(Rear carrier type 500 Wh and Down tube type 500 Wh)
or 3.5 hours (Rear carrier type 400 Wh and Down tube
type 400 Wh).
If the battery pack enters standby mode while charging,
charging time will increase by an equal amount.
* If charging after a long period of disuse, the charging
time will be lengthened depending on the battery status.
However, note that if the battery capacity indicator lamps
do not flash in fault pattern (See “Reading the charging
status”), there is no malfunction.

TIP
For example, even if normal charging is started, if the battery temperature or the surrounding tem-
perature is too high or too low, the charging may be extended or charging may be stopped without
the battery being charged sufficiently in order to protect the battery.
