Description of the battery

1. About the lithium-ion battery equipped in Mando Footloose
The battery equipped in Mando Footloose is a lithium-ion battery which pro-
duces a high output, leading to high capacity and performance. Compared
to the conventional nickel-cadmium cell or nickel-hydrogen cell, it can store a
high amount of electricity within a small-sized / light-weight battery.
2. Features of the battery
1) Batteries are susceptible to hot or cold temperatures. In a battery, charging
and discharging occurs by chemical reactions. The chemical reactions
are affected by the temperature and the performance of a battery is highly
influenced by hot climate in the summer and cold climate in the winter
(avoid operating the product at a temperature below - 10°C or above 40°C.
It may reduce the lifetime of the battery).
2) A battery naturally discharges. The discharged amount is recovered after
charging before use.
3) A new battery may not show the best performance at first use. It will be
maximized after 2~3 times of use (if you don't see any improvement,
contact the store).
3. Degradation during winters
The range may shorten or speed may decrease due to the low output in cold
temperature eg below - 10°C. However, it recovers as the temperature gets
warmer (when it is at the optimal temperature). Therefore, it is recommended
to keep the battery at room temperature before use.
4. How to maintain the battery when it is hot
Avoid charging the battery directly after a ride or charging in a hot place such
as near a heater. It may shorten the life or range. If the temperature of the
battery is too high, it may not function.
1) A lithium ion battery discharges slowly compared to the conventional
batteries, but completely discharging it may reduce the lifetime of the bat-
tery. If you need to keep the battery for a long period of time (more than 1
month), keep it in a cool, dry place after fully charging it.
2) A lithium-ion battery is susceptible to high temperatures.
- Do not keep the battery in hot places such as inside a car under the sun
or beside a heater in winter time.
- Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
5. Factors that affect the lifetime of the battery
1) A lithium ion battery discharges slowly compared to the conventional
batteries, but completely discharging it may reduce the lifetime of the bat-
tery. If you need to keep the battery for a long period of time (more than 1
month), keep it in a dry place after fully charging it.
2) A lithium-ion battery is susceptible to high temperatures.
- Do not keep the battery in hot places such as inside a car under the sun
or beside a heater in winter time.
- Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
