battery pack a minimum of every 3 months. If you let the battery pack discharge completely and leave
it uncharged for a long period of time it will eventually become incapable of holding a charge (i.e. dead
battery pack). If this occurs you will need to contact your dealer and buy and replace the battery pack.
BATTERY PACK LIFESPAN
Batteries do not enjoy eternal life. All batteries have a limited lifespan. The battery manufacturers
conservative estimate rates the Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack at 300~500 cycles which is normal for
most Lithium-ion (Liion) batteries just like Smartphone or Laptop battery packs. However that DOES
NOT mean the battery pack can only be recharged 300 times, it means if you fully discharge the battery
pack to 0% and recharge the battery pack to 100%, then the battery pack will only last a minimum of
300 cycles, so it is important NOT to do that. Experts claim that Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries can reach
80% of their original capacity after 1,000 charges. After this point Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries aren't
able to hold as much electricity and will power your device for increasingly shorter periods of time. It's
also important to note that an aging battery pack will also decrease in performance over time. Lithium-
ion (Li-ion) battery packs do not die suddenly, but the runtime gradually shortens as the capacity fades.
BATTERY NO-NO's
TOO LOW: A 0% charge for a long period of time. If you let the battery pack discharge completely
and leave it uncharged for a long period of time the battery pack will eventually become incapable of
holding a charge.
TOO COLD: 0°C (32°F) The Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack will not charge below freezing.
TOO HOT: 45°C (113°F) The Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack will charge but you will shorten the battery
pack lifespan.
TOO WET: High humidity (or worse rain) will cause all kinds of corrosion problems not only with
the electrical equipment but also all the metal components on your exercise machine. If you
have condensation on the inside of your windows then the humidity is too high. Interior window
condensation is caused by excessive moisture in your home. Corrosion will void your warranty, to avoid
this buy and use a dehumidifier until the condensation disappears.
Battery Warning Display
When you see the „battery warning" then recharge the battery pack for a maximum of 20 minutes.
Battery Warning Levels
40% = STANDARD NORMAL BATTERY WARNING DISPLAY
When the LCD is fully lit and the "Battery Warning Display" appears then the battery is at 40% capacity.
On completion of your workout, recharge the battery pack for a maximum of 20 minutes.
30% = FLASHING BATTERY WARNING DISPLAY
When the LCD is flashing the "Battery Warning Display" then the battery is at 30% capacity and the
computer is not receiving enough power, hence the LCD flashing issue.
1) You can try to finish your workout by pedaling fast enough to fully supply the computer with enough
power. Then, on completion of your workout, recharge the battery pack for a maximum of 20 minutes.
2) Stop your workout and recharge the battery pack for a maximum of 20 minutes.
20% = GHOST BATTERY WARNING DISPLAY
When the LCD is not lit and only a "Ghost Battery Warning Display" is barely visible then the battery is
at 20%.
Stop your workout and recharge the battery pack for a maximum of 20 minutes.
