Quick Start Essentials
First things first ­ Get to know your battery
This might seem a strange place to start, but
expensive component of your conversion kit. The battery that comes with your kit uses very
advanced lithium­ion chemistry. Inside the specially designed casing are electronic components
that work to prolong and optimise the life of your battery. Lithium­ion batteries have enhanced
lifetimes, conservatively estimated to be approximately 1000 cycles. However, the must be
maintained well by their owner. At no point should you attempt to open the sealed case. If in
doubt, contact your service agent. Did we say not to open the case under any circumstances,
but return it to your service agent if you think it's not working properly. Awesome, let us move on
to how to love your battery
How to give your battery eco­love.
1. Aim to never to deplete your battery and aim to keep it as charged as possible at all
times. Love your battery and it will give you years of service.
2. Fully charge your battery after every ride. Your battery should be fully charged within
a few hours. A red light on the charger indicated it is 'on­charge', a green light on the
charger indicates it is 'fully­charged'.
3. Never leave the charger turned on once the battery has fully charged. Remove the
battery charging connector at the rear and disconnect the charger from the mains supply
at the socket. Always make sure the charger has adequate ventilation and away from any
heat­sensitive surface. All electrical chargers generate heat, so make sure it's well away
from animals, children, water, mogwai, dragons and other things that heat effects.
4. Always turn off the power switch. When the bike is not in use or being recharged. Not
turning off the switch will mean a small amount of current will be running through the
controller and other parts of the system, and this will drain the battery.
5. Do not leave the switch on. Despite the battery's ability to manage power for you, it will
drain the battery (see 4). When turned off the battery will hold good charge.
6. You should charge the battery fully every two months even if you are not using
the bike at all. Lithium­Ion batteries do not like being left for longer periods. THIS
IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT REASON FOR LOSS OF BATTERY
PERFORMANCE AND LIFE. Your battery warranty may be invalid should you not
follow this advice.
7. Battery recharging: Standard chargers will fully charge the battery in approximately 5
hours from dead flat. The battery charger will indicate a full charge by turning from 'red' to
'green'. In addition, the battery­charge can be tested by pressing the 'test' button on the
your battery is the single most
