Battery Care
Follow these suggesons to maintain your baery’s opmal performance. If you do not
follow these suggesons, your baery may lose its ability to maintain a charge and might
have to be replaced sooner than would otherwise be necessary.
• Charge it: Charge your baery immediately aer riding it.
• Full charge: Do not allow the baery to run down completely and lie in storage
without a charge. This signicantly reduces the baery’s lifespan and may cause
damage.
• Keep it charged: When being stored, charge the baery occasionally to make
sure its power supply does not run down. Charging it once every 21 days should be
sucient.
• Storage condions: Store the baery on a at, cool, dry surface. Do not allow the
baery temperature to drop below 10 degrees Celsius for extended periods of me.
Warning
DO NOT place your Lead-Acid baery on concrete. Concrete drains the baery’s power
and will neutralize the lead-acid. Placing the baery on concrete for any length of me
will likely result in the baery being drained of power and possibly losing its ability to
store electricity.
Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the baery will not work as well as it would in warmer
temperatures. While Lithium-Ion baeries perform beer than Lead-Acid baeries in
temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your baery to have to
be replaced sooner.
Replacement and Disposal
Aer approximately 300 charges, a lead-acid baery will need to be replaced. A lithium-
ion baery will last approximately 1000 charges. When the baery has to be replaced,
you will noce that your baery cannot carry as much of a charge as it could inially.
Contact your local Daymak dealer to purchase a new baery.
When replacing your baery, dispose of it at a proper municipal baery recycling facility.
