TIP: To ensure long battery life,
fully charge the battery for at least
twelve (12) hours during the first
initial three charges and charge the
battery at least once for 2-3 hours
every 2 months.
Battery works best when it has a full
charge, so always be sure to recharge
it fully after each ride. If you leave it in a
run-down condition, without recharging
it, it will shorten its life expectancy.
If charging does not occur, it is possible
that one or more of the connection pins
has been bent. If connection pins become
damaged, you may need to replace the
battery with a new one. Please have the
battery checked by your dealer. Damaged
battery connection pins are the responsi-
bility of the user and the user is liable for
the cost of the battery replacement.
In the winter, the riding distance shortens
as battery efficiency is reduced by the
effects of low temperatures. It is possible
that in very low temperatures, the system
will not function. This is an internal system
protection to avoid long-term damage.
When connecting the charger to the battery, take
particular care. Do NOT charge the batteries
for longer than 24 hours. Always use the battery
charger and power cord supplied by Bigfish. Using
any other charger will damage the battery and void
your warranty.
Keep the battery away from excessive heat and/
or open flames. Never pour on or submerge the
battery in water. To avoid damage to the battery,
never subject the battery to intense physical
impact, shock or severe vibration. Protect the
battery from water or moisture at all times. Never
disassemble the battery. Do NOT sit on the battery
or charger or/and place any object on or over the
battery. Use only the supplied charger to charge the
battery. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage or injury due to improper or unsafe
use of the battery.
Ensure that any assembled accessories
do not interfere with the normal
functioning of the battery and motor.
SLEEP MODE
If the system is not used for approximate-
ly 20 days or more, it will enter in sleep
mode. The automatic sleep mode function
is to protect battery life and system func-
tionality. To exit the sleep mode please
charge the battery. Even if the battery is
not fully recharged, charging will allow the
system to exit the sleep mode.
BATTERY CHARGER
Your Bigfish folding bike comes with
its own charger that connects with an
easy-access charger port for recharging
the battery. This charger unit has lights
that show the battery charge status.
The charger may get warm to the touch,
so make sure you charge it in an open
area and do not lay anything on the
charger unit while charging.
The charger and charger port should be
regularly inspected for damage (cord,
plug, enclosure, etc.). If damage is found
stop using until the damaged part can be
repaired or replaced.
Use only the supplied charger to recharge the
battery. Do NOT expose the charger to the rain,
water or a humid place. Never disassemble or
modify the charger in anyway. Never plug or unplug
the charger with a wet hand. Do not use the charger
during a lightning storm or in an unstable, dusty or
an excessively damp environment. Avoid using the
charger under direct sunlight. Operate the charger
in a well ventilated environment. Unplug the charger
from the wall outlet when not in use.
