Battery Removal And Installation; Long Term Storage; Battery Disposal - oset 16.0 ECO Owner's Manual

OSET recommend using a 'multimeter' to monitor
the health of the batteries. You will be able to
easily and instantly see the charge of each
battery. If different batteries show different
readings then the ideal course of action would be
to 'balance' the batteries (see below). The
multimeter is also very useful in diagnosing any
electrical problems on the bike.
OSET recommend 'balancing' the batteries periodically. This can be done with a
12v smart charger, such as the CTEK charger from OSET. Each 12v battery can
be charged individually this way.

BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION:

- Ensure power is turned off, and remove the key.
- Undo the Velcro tie straps on the sides and on the top flap.
- Carefully slide the battery connectors off, one at a time. Note the direction
and position of the batteries, and the terminal for each wire. When it
comes time to reconnect, each wire must be to the correct terminal.
- Push the remaining positive and negative wires to the back of the bike, so
the battery bag can be carefully lifted off. Carefully lift off and remove the
battery bag.
- Each battery can now be carefully removed.
To Re-Install the batteries and bag, reverse the above procedure.

LONG TERM STORAGE:

If you do not plan to use your OSET for an extended period of time (1 month or
more), remove the batteries from the bike for storage.
• Fully charge the batteries before storing.
• Fully recharge the batteries at least every 60 days of storage.
• Store the batteries in a cool (50º to 70ºF, 10º to 21ºC), dry place. Avoid direct
exposure from the sun.
If you have any questions about the batteries or their usage, please do not
hesitate to contact the Customer Service Department.

BATTERY DISPOSAL:

We are confident that you will enjoy many miles of pleasurable riding with your
OSET electric bike batteries. However, batteries do eventually wear out. When
this happens, we urge you to properly dispose of your used batteries.
For guidance regarding proper disposal of your batteries, please contact the
Customer Service Department at OSET. Or, you can find very useful information
regarding used battery drop-off sites from the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) at www.rbrc.org.
