3.6 CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery is prearranged and designed to be used with E-P3+ Polini
system only. Charging can be carried out at any time regardless of the
amount of charge remaining. Anyway, you should fully charge the battery
at the following circumstances (be sure to use the dedicated charger when
recharging the battery during these circumstances):
• The battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Before
riding, be sure to charge the battery until it is fully charged. If the
battery has become fully spent, charge it as soon as possible. If
you leave the battery without charging it, it will deteriorate before
its time.
• If the bicycle will not be ridden for a long period of time, store
it away with approximately 70% battery capacity remaining. In
addition, take care not to let the battery become completely empty
by charging it for 2 hours every 3 months.
Charging the battery only
1. Turn the battery off
2. Connect the battery charger’s power plug to the outlet.
3. Insert the charging plug into the battery’s charging port. Charge the
battery on an indoors flat surface.
Charging the battery while installed onto the bicycle
1. Turn the battery off
2. Stabilize the bike to ensure that it does not fall during charging.
3. Insert the battery charger power plug into the outlet.
4. Insert the charging plug into the battery’s charging port on the battery
itself.

3.8 DUAL BATTERY
For this system use exclusively two POLINI E-P3+ batteries code
955.830.001. Switch both the batteries ON to activate the dual battery
system. The system will manage the use of the energy of the batteries to
send to the E-P3+ motor. It is not necessary that both the batteries have
the same level of charge; the system will manage the available energy
using first the battery with more charge and then it will use simultaneously
both the batteries and it will optimize automatically the consumption for
the motor.
You can use the bicycle with one battery installed only, the upper or the
lower one. Charge the battery separately; you must use two rechargers if
