CHARGER
Included with your new Pedego is a lithium ion battery, along with
a charger, which plugs into a standard household electric receptacle.
A lithium ion battery requires specially designed chargers. You should
never charge your battery with a substitute charger that is not designed
for this use. Use of an unsuitable charger to charge a lithium ion battery
could result in over-heating, ire or even explosion.

Operating Procedures
48V Charging Plug
The Pedego battery may be charged
while on the bike or removed and
charged at a location away from the
Pedego. The battery is easily removed
by turning the key switch to the open/
unlock position, grasping the rear
of the battery, and sliding the battery
to the rear of the Pedego.
To charge the battery, plug the charger
into an AC outlet. The LED indication
light should be green showing the
charger is working normally. Then
plug the charger into the charging
port located on the bottom of the
battery by sliding open the charger
cover (Figure 1) or lifting the handle
(Figure 2) and inserting the plug.
BATTERY AND CHARGER CARE
The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in 5—6 hours.
The indicator light on the charger will be red / orange when battery
is charging and will turn green when fully charged.
Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperatures, such as directly
under the sun, for prolonged periods of time. Recharge the battery
before it becomes completely discharged. Completely discharging
will reduce the numbers of recharging cycles during the battery's life
and limit the capacity. Never store the battery in a discharged state.
After much use, your battery's charge-holding capacity will decrease.
If you ind that your battery does not hold a suficient charge, you
should contact your local dealer to order a replacement.
If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time, charge
it fully and recharge it every 2 months. Store it in a cool, dry place. Your
Pedego battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and a long,
useful life. Do not use it to power other electrical devices. Improper use
of the battery will damage the battery and shorten its useful life and may
cause ire or an explosion. If you experience unusual sounds or odors
coming from the charger or the battery, unplug charger immediately
and contact Pedego customer service.
