recharge be performed at least every 90 days for Li-ion batteries and at 30
days for SLA batteries.
Q: Will I get more performance for my bike if I leave the batteries to charge
longer?
A: No, once the batteries are fully charged ( as indicated by the light on the
charger) it is best to unplug them from the charger, leaving the batteries
charging longer than necessary is called "overcharging" and will not increase
performance. Our bikes supplied chargers are designed to avoid
over-charging a battery. Still we recommended that you always unplug a
charger after the units is fully charged to avoid the possibility of
unanticipated circumstances such as an unexpected power surge from a
lighting strike(or other power line anomaly) potentially causing damage. Only
use YUKON TRAIL supply chargers.
Q; Is it normal that the batteries get warm when recharging?
A: Yes, it is normal that the batteries will become warm to the touch during
the recharging process. This is because the increase of internal resistance
and less energy conversion efficiency from electric energy to chemical
energy.
Q; How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
A; Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care,
recharge batteries does not last forever.
