Page 49: Using The Battery Pack
The Q-BOT will collect energy while descending, and the motor will work as a power generator and store electricity in the Battery Pack. Thus continuous descents will allow you to travel longer distances on one charge. When the battery is full, charging the battery this way could cause damage to the battery, therefore the system will automatically lower the max speed to reduce the possibility of excessive charging. - Page 50 It is normal for the Battery Pack to become hot after long periods of use. Riding in cold temperatures will reduce battery life. Comply with all local, federal and individual country laws when disposing of and transporting the Q-BOT Battery Pack. Avoid contact with any substance seeping from the Battery Pack.
