WARNING:
using your battery and charger and contact RECON Power Bikes immediately if any of the following occur: (1) Your
battery or charger is physically damaged, non-functional, or performing abnormally. (2) Your battery or charger
experienced a significant impact from a fall or crash, with or without obvious signs of damage. (3) Your charger becomes
too hot to touch (it's designed to get warm with normal use), has an abnormal odor, or shows other signs of
overheating. Store the damaged battery in a safe location. As soon as possible, recycle or otherwise dispose of it
according to local rules and regulations. Contact RECON Power Bikes if you have any questions or to purchase a
compatible replacement battery.
DANGER:
Never open the battery housing, which will void the warranty and can result in battery damage. It
can also expose you to caustic substances and electrical shock or it could create a fire hazard, which can lead to serious
injury or death.
2.) Charging the battery:
Charge in a safe and appropriate location. Store and use the charger in a safe place—away from children, direct
sunlight, dirt, debris, 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 not at risk for falls or other impacts.
Your battery needs to charge at room temperature or a bit cooler (50° F–77° F (10° C–25° C)). It generates heat while
charging, but it's designed to air-cool; keep it uncovered and the lights facing upward on a flat, stable, hard surface.
1. Plug the output lead of the charger into the plug on the side of the battery (this can be done with the battery
installed in the bike or removed from the bike). If the battery is installed in the bike, move the protective rubber
charge port cover and insert the plug into the battery.
2. Plug the AC Plug into a 110v household power socket to begin charging.
3. The RED indicator light on the charger will illuminate when charging. It will turn
charged. A complete charge on a fully drained battery may take up to (6) hours.
4. After charging is complete, first unplug the charger from the wall and then from the battery charging port.
WARNING:
Letting the charger's plug contact metal objects could cause a power discharge (a spark), which
could injure you or create a fire hazard.
WARNING:
Letting a battery charge unattended increases the risk that a charging problem will go undetected
and lead to component damage or a fire hazard. Always charge your battery where you can monitor it.
3.) Battery care and maintenance:
NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERY STORED ON THE CHARGER, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE BATTERY AFTER IT IS FULLY
•
