Technical information

• The rated output capacity of a battery is measured at 77°F (25°C). Any variation in this temperature will alter the
performance of the battery, and shorten its expected life. High temperatures especially reduce overall battery life & run
time.
• Always be sure to turn the bike/scooter power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you leave the power switch in the
“ON” position, or your product has not been charged for a long period of time, the batteries may reach a stage at which
they will no longer hold a charge.
• Be friendly to the environment! Be sure to recycle your old batteries at a local battery-recycling center. Do not throw
them in the garbage! Check www.call2recycle.org for more information on free battery dropoff locations.
Storage
When storing your batteries for a long period of time (longer than two months):
• Charge your batteries every 90 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries slowly self-discharge when left unused for a
long period of time; if the battery cells are allowed to reach a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be
permanently reduced.
• Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the battery.
• Avoid storing your batteries in extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold.
• Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to accumulate condensation, as this could cause
shorting or corrosion.
• The recommended storage temperature for both SLA and Li-Ion batteries is between 32-77 °F (0-25°C).
• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (104°F (40°C) or higher) for long periods of time.
