Battery Charging Information
• Check the charger, charger cables, and battery for damage before beginning each charge.
• Always charge in a safe area that is cool*, dry, indoors, away from direct sunlight, dirt, or debris, in a clear area away from potential to trip
on the charging cords, or for damage to occur to the bike, battery, or charging equipment while parked and/or charging. * Always charge your
battery in temperatures between 50 °F 一 77 °F (10 °C 一 25 °C).
• The battery can be charged on or off the bike. To remove the battery, turn the key to the off and unlocked position (see the Start-Up
Procedure section for details), remove the key from the key port by pulling directly backward without twisting, and then carefully pull the
battery forward and up until the battery detaches from the receptacle. See the When the Battery is Removed section for more information for
off-bike battery handling.
• The battery should be recharged after each use, so it is ready to go the full range per charge next ride. There is no memory effect, so
charging the battery after short rides will not cause damage.
• Charging the battery normally takes 6-7 hours. In rare cases, it may take longer to allow the battery management system to balance the
battery, particularly when the bike is new or after long periods of storage. Balance the battery during the first three charges. See the Balancing
the Battery section for more information.
• The charge indicator lights will show a red light while the battery charges. When charging is complete, one indicator light will turn green.
Ensure the lights face upward when charging.
• Remove the charger from the battery within one hour of the green light indicating a complete charge. The charger is designed to
automatically stop charging when the battery is full, but unnecessary wear of the charging components could occur if the charger is left
attached to the battery and a power source for longer than 12 hours. Detach the charger within one hour, or as soon as possible, once the green
light indicates a complete charge to avoid unnecessary wear of charging components.
• Never charge a battery for more than 12 hours at a time.Do not leave a charging battery unattended.
Failure to follow Battery Charging Best Practices could result in unnecessary wear to the charging components, battery, and or charger, and
could lead to an underperforming or non-functional battery and replacement will not be covered under warranty.
