Battery and charging                                                                                                    

Appropriate places for charging the battery

Despite the battery charging temperature
is between 0~30°C, when the battery is
stored at a place exposed to the direct
sunlight or directly after a ride, charging
cannot  be  initiated  as  the  interior  tem-
perature of the battery is out of the range
of possible charging temperature. It may
take up to 3 hours to reach the possible
charging temperature in a place with a
room temperature of 30°C.

Occasionally,  charging  the  battery  near 
electric  appliances  like  TV  or  radio  may 
cause  noise  in  the  radio  or  may  distort 
the image on TV. In this case, charge the 
battery in a place away from the electric 
appliances. 

1. Appropriate places for charging the battery

Charge the battery at a place where the following conditions exist:
- A flat and stable place
- A place away from water or rain
- A place not exposed to direct sunlight
- A well ventilated dry place
- A place which children or pets cannot reach
- A place with a room temperature between 0~30°C.
However, during hot summer or cold winter time, charging may begin, but 
may be discontinued. Try to charge the battery at a room temperature be-
tween 15~25°C, which is optimal for the battery.

1) Examples of appropriate places for charging the battery
- Summer: A shady and well-ventilated place (optimal temperature 15~25°C)
- W i n t e r : A warm place where the temperature is kept above 0°C at night 

(optimal temperature 15~25°C) Charging is possible at a tempera-
ture between 0~30°C. However, if the interior temperature of the 
battery is out of the range of possible charging temperature directly 
after a ride, then it will enter a ‘standby state’ until the interior tem-
perature of the battery reaches the possible charging temperature. 

2. Inappropriate places or ways for charging the battery

- Summer: Charging at a place exposed to the direct sunlight and charging 

the battery directly after a ride. Even though charging may begin 
normally, it may be discontinued when the temperature of the bat-
tery exceeds the possible charging temperature in order to protect 
the battery. In this case, cool down the battery and charge the 
battery again at a cooler place. 

- W i n t e r : Charging outdoor, at a cold place such as a warehouse, or near 

a heater. Even though charging may begin normally, it may be 
discontinued when the temperature reaches below 0°C in order 
to protect the battery. In this case, charge the battery at a warmer 
place. 

Before charging the battery

Cautions when charging the battery:

1) If a charging plug gets unplugged while charging, do not plug it back in
