Hot Weather Operation
Operation of the motorcycle in hot temperatures should not
result in any noticeable performance changes. However,
the BMS will not allow motorcycle operation and its
associated battery discharge above 140°F (60°C), as
measured at the battery.
In hot temperatures greater than 110°F (43°C), the charger
reduces its charge current to the battery, increasing charge
time accordingly; the hotter the ambient temperature, the
greater the effect. Above a battery temperature of 131°F
(55°C), the BMS will no longer allow charging.
Note: Storing the motorcycle or its battery in direct sunlight
in ambient temperatures above 105°F (41°C) may result in
accelerated permanent decay of battery performance, and
hence it is not recommended.
