Storing the battery
Battery Maintenance
When your Azteca is not in use for longer
periods such as during winter storage,
keep the battery indoors after charging it
completely for 8 hours; afterwards, you
must charge your battery for one hour each
month or for two hours every two months.
Always use the lithium charger supplied
by Trivel with a Trivel lithium battery,
otherwise your charger and your battery
might be damaged.
How to store the battery?
Do not expose it to extremes of heat (more
than 40°C / 105°F) or cold (-10°C / 14°F)
or to damp conditions (rain, water, garages,
sheds, hangars, or unheated basements).
Even though your battery is of the so-
called ‘no-memory’ type, it is advisable to
recondition it at regular intervals by running
it down and recharging it completely (8
hours).
Avoid using an electrically assisted
vehicle during extreme conditions (for
your safety and for proper functioning
of the equipment).
Avoid salt, sand, calcium, water and
ice and your system will perform much
better. Using your tricycle in such
conditions will void your warranty.
Never leave the battery connected to the
charger and to an electrical outlet for
more than 24 hours. This could damage
the charger and the battery. Never
connect your battery and your charger
to an electrical outlet for an overly long
period of time (during an entire winter for
instance). This will damage your battery
and your charger. This must absolutely
be avoided.
Minimum battery maintenance
schedule
It is essential that you look after your
battery maintenance at regular intervals.
This is particularly important during the off
season, when you are likely not using your
Azteca for longer periods.
48V Lithium Battery:
Your battery must maintain a minimum
voltage of 40 volts. If the voltage goes
below 30 volts, the battery could become
irreversibly damaged and might no longer
be able to accept a full charge.
To protect the battery’s warranty, follow this
maintenance procedure:
If using your Azteca seasonally, after your
last long ride of the season you should
immediately charge your battery for eight (8)
hours. Then, during the off months, charge
the battery for 2 hours every two months.
