Battery Care
Proper maintenance of your batteries will maximize their lifespan and capacity. Bintelli Bicycles warranties your new batteries from the date of
purchase for 2 full years if properly cared for. Even with proper care, batteries do not last forever. Every time the battery is discharged and
subsequently recharged, its relative capacity decreases by a small percentage. With proper care, the life span of your batteries will reach their
maximum life span. To maximize your battery life, please follow the instructions on this guide.
•
Batteries should be fully charged immediately when they are received for the full recommended charge times.
Lithium-Ion Recommended Charge Time: 4-6 hours. For a complete, 100% charge, leave the battery on the charger for one full hour after the
charger indicator light turns green.
•
Do not charge batteries for longer than 24 hours.
•
Lithium-Ion batteries do not have a “memory”. Partial discharge/charge cycles will not harm the batteries’ capacity or performance.
•
Always be sure to turn the bicycle power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you leave the power switch in the “ON” position, the batteries may
reach a stage at which they will no longer hold a charge.
Storage
Storing your batteries for a long period of time (longer than two months):
•
Charge your batteries every 90 days to avoid capacity loss. Battery life slowly shortens when left unused for a long period of time. If the
battery cells are left to reach a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
•
Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the battery.
•
Do not store your batteries in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
