Charging time guidelines
Although charging time varies depending on residual bat-
tery capacity and external temperature, if the battery has
been exhausted, it generally takes approximately 3.5
hours (Down tube type 400 Wh), 4 hours (Down tube type
500 Wh) or 5 hours (Multi location type 600 Wh).
If the battery pack enters standby mode while charging,
charging time will increase by an equal amount.
* If charging after a long period of disuse, the charging
time will be lengthened depending on the battery status.
However, note that if the battery capacity indicator lamps
do not flash in fault pattern (See “Reading the charging
status for battery pack”), there is no malfunction.

TIP
For example, even if normal charging is started, if the battery temperature or the surrounding tem-
perature is too high or too low, the charging may be extended or charging may be stopped without
the battery being charged sufficiently in order to protect the battery.

H. Checking the residual battery capacity
You can check the estimate of how much capacity is left in the battery and to what extent it is
charged. The check can be performed using either the display unit’s residual battery capacity indi-
cator or the battery’s residual battery capacity indicator lamps.
TIP
•
Even if the battery’s capacity reaches 0 (zero), you can still ride the bicycle as a regular bicycle.
•
If you are using an old battery pack, the residual battery capacity indicator may suddenly display
very little power when you start moving. This is not a malfunction. Once riding stabilizes and the
load is reduced, the proper value is displayed.
Residual battery capacity indicator display and estimate of residual bat-
tery capacity for display unit
The residual battery capacity can be displayed as a numerical value on the display unit.

Applicable situation
100–11 %
When you turn on the power of
the display unit and ride
continually after the battery is
fully charged, the segments for
the residual battery capacity
indicator go out one by one each
time the residual battery capacity
is reduced by 10 %.
<0.5 second intervals>
10–1 %
There is very little residual battery
capacity left. Please charge the
battery soon.
<0.2 second intervals>
0 %
There is no more residual battery
capacity. Turn off the power for
the display unit and charge the
battery pack soon.
* Assist is stopped, but you can
still ride the bicycle as a regular
bicycle.
