impedance of the cells to increase—in time reducing the ability of the battery to deliver its charge. For
this reason, a new battery will always perform better t
han one that is six months old.
To maximise the potential lifespan of your Gocycle battery, follow these guidelines:
Before first use, ensure that your battery is fully charged.
The fuel readings on the dashboard and the capacity of the battery pack may vary during
initial usage. After ten discharge and charge cycles, the battery and fuel indicators will become
more consistent.
Your battery will go into over discharge protection mode if it is discharged to a critically low
level. Recharge your battery as soon as possible after it becomes fully discharged. A battery
will be permanently damaged if left for an extended length of time in a fully discharged state.
Heat accelerates the degradation of batteries. Avoid operating or storing the battery in high
temperatures when possible.
Once your battery displays less than two 2 LEDs, charge your battery within 48 hours. Place
the battery on charge, and when the charge is complete, press the sleep button. Do not allow a
nearly depleted battery to be unused for more than one month. The battery will slowly
discharge until it becomes fully discharged, and this will permanently damage the battery
cells.
When you are not using the Gocycle, we strongly recommend that you put the battery into
Sleep
Mode
. See 5.3.4 Returning the Battery to Sleep Mode, for more information. Do not leave the battery
on charge. When fully charged, unplug the charger and return the battery to Sleep Mode.
5.5
Shipping and Handling of Lithium Batteries
Like any lithium-ion battery, the Gocycle lithium-ion battery is classified as Miscellaneous Class 9
Dangerous Goods, and as such, must be packaged, shipped and handled in accordance with the strict
guidelines laid out by the relevant international regulatory bodies for air, sea and road transport.
Never attempt to transport your lithium-ion battery by air, without first seeking the prior approval of
your airline. Never return your battery to Karbon Kinetics Ltd without first making contact with
techsupport@gocycle.com. Do not discard any of the battery packaging materials.
5.6
Battery Pack Disposal
When your Gocycle lithium battery has reached the end of its service life, you must recycle or dispose
of it properly:
Do not dispose of batteries with general household waste.
When your battery no longer holds a charge, contact your local waste disposal or
environmental agency for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion battery.
Lithium-ion batteries are classified as Miscellaneous Class 9 Dangerous Goods. Consult your
local authority for further advice on storage, handling and shipping.
