Battery Care
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will gradually
lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (ageing) is
irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power
the bike (ride time) decreases. The typical estimated “healthy life” of a
Lithium-Ion battery is about three years or 500 charge cycles, whichever
occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully
discharged, and fully recharged again.
Battery Charging
Simply charge your battery any time you feel you need to use it.
The batteries should be charged at room temperature in a dry location
where a smoke detector is installed. Batteries must not be charged in the
vicinity of heat sources or flammable materials. After charging, batteries
and chargers should be disconnected from the power supply.
• Prolonged storage (more than 30
days without use) in a fully
charged or discharged state
