CHARGING THE SMARTPOWER BATTERY
Always start a charging cycle by following these steps:
1. Connect the charger to the battery.
2. Connect the charger to the wall.
3. Switch the wall socket on.
The charger has an indicator light on it:
RED
:
Indicates the battery is charging.
GREEN
:
Indicates that the charge cycle has finished.
The charge cycle time varies depending on how much power has been used: the
average charge should take 3-4 hours, but can be up to 10 hours. You can accurately
check the power level of the battery with the free smartphone app, even while it is
charging.
BEST PRACTICE
If the battery is being used regularly (once a week for example), it is OK to leave it
connected to the charger, with the charger turned on. The Battery Management System
(BMS) within the battery will prevent any damage.
However it is good practice to disconnect the battery from the charger once the green
light shows.
