Important Notes About Charging - oset 16.0 ECO Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT CHARGING THE BATTERIES:
• It normally takes three to five hours to charge your batteries from a fully
discharged condition. Never overcharge. Remove
from the charger after 5 hours maximum.
• Fully charge the batteries before using your OSET
electric bike for the first time. 5 hours maximum.
• Fully charge the batteries for the first three charges
after using your OSET bike.
• Always connect the charger to the bike before
connecting the charger to the AC power source.
• Always disconnect the AC power source from the
wall socket before disconnecting the charger from
the bike.
• To avoid damage to the charger, never subject it to
intense physical shock or severe vibration.
• There is no 'memory effect' with AGM batteries, so
the bike can go on the charger even if the bike has only been used for a short
ride.

Additional Battery Care Guide:
Your OSET features 36V drive system, with 3 x 10ah batteries joined in series to
make the 36v. It is very important that the batteries are kept 'balanced'. If one
battery is driven to a lower voltage than the others, it can have the knock on
effect of it undercharging, while the other batteries in the system overcharge to
compensate. This will have performance repercussions, and will affect the life of
the batteries. The charger is treating the batteries as a single 36v battery rather
than individual batteries making up a pack.
