Battery Care & Storage
Charge battery after every ride. It is not necessary to fully discharge battery before charging. Lithium batteries do
not have any memory effect, so you can charge them at any time.
Lithium batteries
must
not be stored if fully
discharged. If your battery is fully discharged, charge it as soon as possible. Storing the battery if fully discharged
for long
er
than 1 day
will damage the battery. It is recommend to store the batteries fully charged and then charge
it
at least
every two months. It is not necessary to leave the charger connected to the battery if stored for long
periods. Just top the charge up every two months.
Disconnect charger from battery and power supply after battery
has been fully charged.
If batteries are not charged at least every two months, the battery may be damaged and
such damage is unfortunately not covered under manufacturer's fault warranty.
WARNING!
Lithium-ion batteries may leak, ignite and burst if not handled properly!
Always keep away from any
material which can catch fire.
Store battery between 10
℃
(50 °F ) and 30
℃
(86 °F) in a clean, dry place away from sunlight. Do not store with
hazardous, corrosive or flammable materials. Do not expose batteries to heat or fire. Store batteries in fire-proof
environment. Operating temperature range during discharge is 5
℃
(41 °F ) to 50
℃
(122 °F). Do not leave the
battery inside car, in direct sunlight or any other hot places. If battery is charged at temperatures lower than 5
℃
(41 °F ), the range of battery will be reduced.
Do not disassemble, deform or modify battery. Do not connect the + and – terminals of battery with metallic or
conductive objects. Do not store with conductive objects such as hairpins or necklaces as short circuits and burns
may occur. Do not short circuit battery. Only use original charger.
Do not place into water, salt water and moisture. Do not throw battery or subject it to strong shocks.
Inspect battery and terminals carefully every month for leakage, discoloration, cracks, damage, bloating, signs of
melting or corrosion. If fluid leaks from the battery and gets into contact with your eyes or skin, wash affected
area with clean water without rubbing your eyes or skin and visit a doctor immediately to reduce damage to eyes
or skin. Never handle battery or charger if parts are wet. Dry it thoroughly before usage to avoid electric shock.
Store out of reach of pets and children.
Battery capacity naturally declines over time and is warranted to be at
least 80% capacity within 1 year of purchase.
Always handle carefully with 2 hands. If errors occur, stop using battery, consult manual or contact customer
service. Discard batteries according to your local battery disposal guidelines.
