Charging the Battery on its Own
If you have removed the battery to charge it away from the e-bike, follow this procedure.
1. Follow the instructions to remove the battery from its compartment
2. Plug the female end of the charger cable into the charging slot on the battery.
3. Plug the male end of the charger power cable into your wall socket. This should be a
110v household electricity supply. You can also use a portable generator, if
necessary, but make sure it provides 110V current.
4. Allow the e-bike’s battery to charge for the appropriate amount of time (3-8 hours).
Disconnect the charger when the LED light on the charger is green. The battery has
been fully charged.
Battery Care Caution
Be sure to follow all instructions concerning handling the battery found
under “Battery Care”.
Note If your charger’s LED status light does not change from red to green over an extended
period of time, for perhaps more than 14 hours, and the battery is very hot, the battery
or charger may need replacing. Stop charging and bring both to your Daymak dealer
immediately. Do not charge the battery.
Heat Warning
A charging battery produces heat. Do not cover the battery with
anything when it is being charged, to allow the heat to escape.
Allowing the battery to overheat may cause serious damage to your
battery. If the battery is very hot to the touch, do not touch it until it has
cooled sufficiently.
The Battery Fuse
A fuse prevents over-use and power surges from affecting the e-bike’s electrical systems. It
is located on the main battery, where the power cable attaches to the battery itself. It is a
standard 30 amp fuse.
If the fuse is blown, all electrical input to the e-bike will cease. The battery will also not
recharge.
See “Maintenance and Troubleshooting” to learn how to replace the fuse.
Note It is a good idea to always carry a spare 30 A fuse, to replace the fuse in case it blows.
