B. Refresh Charging (Twist 2.0 only)
Twist 2.0's charger has a "REFRESH" mode, which is designed to extend the life of the battery: it completely discharges the
battery, then recharges it to full capacity.
The time required for refresh charging becomes shorter, as remaining battery capacity becomes less.
Charge the battery in a room with a temperature between 0° C - 40° C (32-104 degree F)
Refresh charging should be done frequently. This process must be executed after every 15 charges, or at least once
every three months.
If the riding range per charge becomes too short even after refresh charging is repeated, the battery's lifecycle may
have ended. Replace the battery with a new one.
If the "refresh" button is pushed during normal charging, charging mode will be switched to "Refresh-charging". Turn
off the power switch and restart normal charging.
