Charge The Battery - Velotric Thunder 1ST Manual

Charge the Battery

Before charging the battery, ensure that you read and understand all safety-related precautions
listed below.
■ Always charge your battery with the charger supplied by Velotric.
■ Ensure that the battery and charger are undamaged before charging. If the battery or charger
looks damaged or was involved in a fall or crash (even without obvious signs of damage from
outward appearances), contact us through help@velotricbike.com for more information.
■ Charge your battery in a temperature controlled, dry, and safe environment ideally at room
temperature, 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C). Always charge between 41°F to 104°F (5°C to
40°C) because charging outside this range can cause permanent damage to the battery, as
evidenced by a decrease in capacity and a shortening of its service life.
■ Use the charger in a safe place away from children, direct sunlight, dirt, debris, liquids, tripping
hazards (including electrical cords), or any materials that could ignite in the unlikely event of a
charger or battery malfunction. Position the charger and battery where they're safe and not at
risk of falls or other impacts.
■ Your battery and charger generate heat while charging, but they're designed to be air-cooled.
While charging, keep them uncovered on a flat, stable, hard surface. Your charger should face
upward with its indicator visible when in use.
■ Store the charger unplugged in a safe place away from children, direct sunlight, etc. Ensure
that the charger plugs do not come in contact with liquids, dirt, debris, or metal objects, which
can damage the plug and interfere with future operations.

3. Open the rubber cover on the charging
port located on the left side of the frame's
bottom bracket near the pedal arm.
4. Connect the DC output plug from the
charger to the charging port.
5. Plug the charger into a power outlet to initiate the charging. It may take about 6 hours for
an empty battery (battery level 0%) to be fully charged. You can check the charging status
through the indicator on the charger, as well as the LED ring on the control panel. For more
information, refer to "Charger Indicator Status" and "Control Panel Indicator Status" .
6. Once fully charged, unplug the charger from the outlet, then the charging port.
