Charging The Battery - Espin Aero Quick Start Manual

CHARGING THE BATTERY

2 .1 To charge the Aero, plug the charger into
a wall outlet, then plug it into the battery's
charging port on the lower left side of the
downtube.
2 .2 When the charger is plugged into the wall
and not the battery, the light on the charger
will be green. When the battery is plugged in
and charging, the light will be red. Once the
battery finishes charging, the light will turn
green again. Simply put, the red light indi-
cates a flow of electricity through the charger.
2 .3 Charging an empty battery can take up to
7 hours. The battery has overcharge protec-
tion so it will stop charging as soon as it is
full. This means it can safely be left plugged
in overnight.

2 .4 While charging, leave the charger on a
smooth hard surface like wood or tile. The
charger may get fairly warm if left on carpet
or other insulating materials. When done
charging, always cover the charging port
with the rubber cap. If water goes into the
charging port, the battery will short out and
need to be replaced.
2 .5 To maximize battery life and capacity,
allow the battery to warm up to room tem-
perature before plugging it into the charger.
Charging a cold battery will deplete the capac-
ity. If the bike is not being used for several
months, plugging the battery into the charger
until it is full once a month will also help with
battery life.
