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, improving longevity.
Battery Storage
If you store your battery for 30 days or longer, it is critical that you keep it in a place that
is temperature controlled and give it a full 12-hour conditioning charge every 30 days.
Refer to “Environmental Conditions” section below for temperature ranges.
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 connect the wire
connections at the charger block to and make sure the cord is fully seated. Lastly,
plug it into a 120v AC outlet. The lights on the charger will indicate when the battery is
fully charged. Do not leave the unit plugged in for extended periods of time.
In addition, do not use the charger unit in
poorly ventilated spaces such as closets
or drawers, as it may overheat.
Connect your battery to the charger as
shown in the photograph.
