Taking Care of Your Batteries
Proper maintenance of the batteries will maximize their lifespan and available ride time. Currie
Technologies® warrants your new batteries from the date of purchase but only if properly cared
for. Refer to the limited warranty for details.
Currie uses SLA (Sealed Lead Acid), NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) or Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) •
batteries in all of our electric bicycles. These are all very user friendly types of batteries
when cared for properly
Batteries should be fully charged immediately when they are received for the •
recommended charge times. FULLY CHARGE BATTERIES BEFORE FIRST USE.
Below are the recommended charge times for each type of batteries.
Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries 4-6 hours•
NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) 4-6 hours•
SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries 6-8 hours•
Charge batteries at least every 90 days for NiMH & Li-Ion and every 30 days for SLA •
until normal use is resumed.
Always store bicycle with fully charged batteries.•
Never charge the batteries for more than 24 hours.•
Always disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and bicycle when charging is •
complete (as indicated by the status on the charger) before storing the bicycle.
Do not store batteries below 50º Fahrenheit and never allow batteries to freeze •
(below 32º Fahrenheit).
Bikes are equipped with a 5 minute sleep mode. If no activity is detected after 5 minutes •
the bike will go into stasis mode to conserve the batteries. To restart, cycle the power
switch Off then On. Bikes are not to be stored in the 5 minute sleep mode. Be sure
to turn the power switch "OFF" when the bike in not in use.
Always be sure to turn the bike “OFF” after each use via the On/Off power switch. • If you
have left the power switch on or your product has not been charged for a long period of
time, the batteries may reach a stage at which it 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!
Frequent “stops and starts” will drain a battery more quickly than sustained, long-term •
use
Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries does not last forever. Average battery life •
depends on use and conditions.
