Cold Weather and your Battery

Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer tempera-

tures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature 

extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.

Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to 

be replaced sooner.

Handling the Battery

The battery contains large amounts of electrical power. You must use caution and respect 

when handling it. Not following these instructions can result in serious injury.

Warning

Follow these instructions closely. Use care when handling your battery.

 

• Always lift the battery with both hands, and carry it with care. Never drop the 

 

  battery. If the case is damaged, the contents may leak out.

 

• Never puncture or open the battery case. The contents are dangerous and may 

 

  cause injury. Do not touch the contents of a leaking battery. Seek help immediate-

 

  ly.

 

• Do not touch the two metal poles on the battery box at the same time. This can  

 

  cause a short-circuit. It could injure you or others and cause serious damage to  

 

  the electrical systems in the e-bike. Your battery contains significant amounts of  

 

  electrical power.

 

• Do not handle your battery if either you or the battery are wet. Water is an ex-

 

  cellent conductor of electricity. You may experience an electrical shock, and you  

 

  may be injured.
