BALANCING THE BATTERY
LONG-TERM BATTERY STORAGE
When you first receive your bike and for the first three times you charge your battery from Aventon Bikes,
follow the procedure outlined below to ensure the cells that power the battery are balanced and operating
as eciently as possible.
Note: Since the battery should arrive with between 50-75% of a charge, it should be able to be ridden
without initially charging
once assembled and verified as safe by a certified, reputable bike mechanic. Charging normally before
the first ride is also fine.
Follow these steps to balance your ebike battery:
1. After your first ride, regardless of the distance ridden or the amount of battery used, charge the battery
for just under 12 hours (but never exceeding the 12-hour mark). Note: this will most likely require staying
plugged in and charging even after the charger indicator light turns green.
2. Once you are near the 12 hour mark (do not exceed 12 hours) disconnect the charger from the wall
outlet, then from the battery.
3. On you next use, ride your ebike normally.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the first three rides for a total of three (3) battery balance charge sessions.
5. After the third balance charge and fourth ride, begin normal charging procedures including:
Charging the battery after each ride according to the Battery Charging Information section.
Removing the charger from the battery shortly after the green charge light indicating the battery is full,
which will typically occur between 3-7 hours.
Never leaving the battery charging for longer than 12 hours.
Never leaving the battery/charger unattended while charging.
Repeat battery balancing steps 1-5 only after a period of long-term battery storage (see the Long-Term
Battery Storage section), if experiencing noticeable range decline, when instructed to do so by Aventon
Bikes Product Support, or up to once per month with frequent use as proactive battery maintenance.
Do not perform battery balancing more than once per month.
If storing your bike from Aventon Bikes for longer than two weeks at a time, follow the instructions below
to maintain the health and longevity of your battery.
Charge (or discharge) the battery to approximately 75% charged.
Do not leave the battery attached to the bike frame. Remove it from the bike when during long-term storage.
Store the battery in a dry, climate controlled, indoor location between 50 °F – 77 °F (10 °C – 25 °C).
Check the battery every month, and if necessary, use the Aventon Bikes charger to charge the battery
to 75% charged.
Please follow the above instructions for storing your bike and battery from Aventon Bikes.
Failure to follow proper battery storage procedures can result in a non-functional battery.
Replacement will not be covered under warranty.
If the battery is physically damaged, non-functional, performing abnormally, or was dropped
or involved in a crash, with or without obvious signs of damage, please discontinue use and
charging and contact Aventon Bikes immediately.
Please take special care in charging your bike from Aventon Bikes in accordance with the
procedures and safety information detailed in this manual. Failure to follow proper charging
procedures can result in damage to your bike, the charger, or personal property, and/or cause
serious injury or death.
