IMPORTANT
HOW TO STORE YOUR BATTERY ?
It is essential that you look after battery maintenance at regular intervals.
This is particularly important during the winter, when you are not using your
bicycle for long periods.
36V Lithium Battery
Your battery must maintain a minimum voltage of 30 volts. If the voltage
goes below 30 volts, the battery could become irrecoverably damaged and
might no longer be able to accept a full charge.
48V Lithium Battery
Your battery must maintain a minimum voltage of 40 volts. If the voltage
goes below 30 volts, the battery could become irrecoverably damaged and
might no longer be able to accept a full charge.
To keep the battery under proper warranty, the client must follow the
following simple maintenance procedure:
Immediately following your last long ride of the season, charge your battery
for eight (8) hours. Then, during the winter months, charge the battery for 2
hours every two months.
The easiest thing would be to mark your agenda or calendar with your
recharging dates until fine spring weather returns.
For example, let’s say you store your bicycle on October 1st: You would
charge your battery for eight (8) hours immediately and store your battery.
You would then charge the battery two (2) hours on or about December
1st, February 1st, April 1st (and possibly June 1st, if you don’t start using
you bike early in the season.
THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERY FOR 2 HOURS EVERY 60 DAYS
WHENEVER YOU’RE NOT USING IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING TO REMEMBER!
NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERY CONNECTED TO THE CHARGER
AND TO ELECTRICAL POWER 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 THE WHOLE WINTER FOR INSTANCE). THIS WILL
DAMAGE YOUR BATTERY AND YOUR CHARGER. THIS MUST
ABSOLUTELY BE AVOIDED.
MINIMUM BATTERY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Do not expose it to extremes of heat (more than 40ºC) or cold (-10ºC) or to
damp conditions (rain, water, garage, shed, hangar or unheated basement).
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 com-
pletely (8 hours).
YOU MUST AVOID USING AN EAB DURING THE WINTER (FOR YOUR
SAFETY AND FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING OF YOUR EAB). AVOID SALT,
SAND, CALCIUM, WATER AND ICE AND YOUR VELEC WILL PERFORM
MUCH BETTER. USING YOUR BICYCLE IN SUCH CONDITIONS WOULD
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
