The battery provided with your EVELO Electric Bicycle is a high-quality unit that requires
very little from the user in terms of care. However, a few things are worth noting with
respect to any Lithium Ion battery. To maximize the lifespan of your battery, we
suggest an initial conditioning charge of 12 hours. After that, connect it to the charger
as needed. While there is no need to recharge the battery following short trips, we
recommend not leaving a battery partially discharged — and especially not completely
discharged — for extended periods of time.
A typical charge takes 4-6 hours (longer in very cold temperatures) to complete. The
battery will perform best if you do NOT leave it plugged in constantly, since charging /
discharging keeps the electrons in the unit moving, which improves longevity.
Using Your Charger
The charger that comes with your bike has internal controls that prevent overcharging of
the battery. First, plug the charger into the battery. Then check the wire connections at the
charger block to make sure the cord is fully seated, and then plug it into a 120v AC outlet.
The light on the charger should be RED, and that light will change to GREEN when the
battery is fully charged. We do not recommend leaving the unit plugged in for extended
periods of time.
In addition, we do not recommend using the charger unit in poorly ventilated spaces such
as closets or drawers, as it may overheat.
Environmental Conditions
Temperature extremes can affect your battery. Please keep it within the following
temperature ranges, as suggested by the battery manufacturer:
Charging: 32 degrees to 113 degrees F (0 degrees – 45 degrees C)
Discharging and Storage: -4 degrees to 140 degrees F (-20 degrees to 60 degrees C)
Storage
If you store your battery for 30 days or longer, it is suggested that you keep it in a place
that is within the above temperatures and give it a full 12-hour conditioning charge every
30 days.
