IMPORTANT
HOW TO STORE YOUR BATTERY ?
It is essential that you look after battery maintenance at regular intervals.
This is particularly important during the off season, 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, If using your Velec seaso-
nably you should follow these simple maintenance procedures:
Immediately following your last long ride of the season, charge your battery
for eight (8) hours. Then, during the the off months, charge the battery for 2
hours every two months.
The easiest thing is to take note in your agenda or calendar.
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 / 105ºF) or cold (-10ºC
/ 14ºF) 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 EXTREME CONDITIONS
(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.
