Charging
To prolong the life of your battery:
- Charge under dry conditions and at room temperature
- Keep the charger in the dry and do not drop it
- Charge the battery when it has 30-60% charge remaining (for E-Mission 1-2 lights on the battery indicator)
- You do not need to charge the battery after every ride, unless the next ride is going to use the full capacity of a charged battery
- Charge and use it regularly – the battery will deteriorate in a completely charged or completely discharged state
- Never leave a battery on charge in the garage or house unattended
- Do not put a battery on charge and go to bed
Storage
- Store in a dry location at room temperature. Cold and hot conditions will decrease the lifespan of the battery – avoid storing at temperatures below 10°c and above 60°c
Usage
- Don’t overload your trike – a battery won’t last as long when it has to work harder
- In cold weather the battery life will be shorter than in warmer weather, so be aware of this if a long ride is planned
- For frequent travel in the cold, it is advisable to use a thermal protective covering (eg a towel wrapped around the battery)
- Lithium batters are heavy, so handle with care – don’t drop the battery
- Keep it dry and very occasionally add a little Vaseline to the terminal on the tricycle
Recycling
Packaging has to conform to strict legislation. To dispose of a dead battery it should be returned to the dealer or taken to your local recycling depot. It is illegal to send a lithium battery via a courier/post/carrier without correct packaging.
