Battery Care and Maintenance
What to Expect of Your Batteries, Ideally
The battery is a sealed lead-acid type, with a gel
electrolyte. With normal use, it can last for well over 300
charge/discharge cycles.
Know that normal use should mean partial, and not
complete discharging. If you employ “shallow” discharge
cycles, using less than 30% of battery’s capacity, the
battery can achieve up to 1,200 charge/discharge cycles.
Thus, it is goo
d to charge the battery after each ride. A
partial discharge will require less time on the chargers.
What to Expect, Realistically
The battery can keep its performance for about 200
charge/discharge cycles, with high current and deep
(80%) discharging. The storage capacity of the battery
will decline after 200 times recharging. If you re-charge
the battery before it is exhausted, you will dramatically
extend the battery’s cycle l
ife.
In Summary
Always try to recharge the Battery Pack within 24 hours
after use to maximize battery cycle life and prevent
damage.
