BATTERY CARE & CHARGING
Your Batribike Electric Tricycle uses a Lithium battery for it's power and the
following points will directly affect battery life and performance.
Storage
Batteries do not like to be stored in very hot or very cold conditions or to be
subject to conditions of high moisture. They also do not like to be left in a fully
discharged state. If Lithium batteries are left flat for an extended period they may
no longer be functional.
• Store your battery between 15º C and 25º C
in a dry area. (The conditions found in a
normal domestic house).
• If your Batribike is not in use for an extended
period it is imperative that you charge the
battery before storage and then charge the
battery once a month to prevent deterioration.
Charging
Lithium batteries do not like to be left discharged.
It is good practice to recharge as soon as is
reasonably possible after the battery goes flat.
We recommend charging after every ride, that
way your electric bike is always ready for your
next outing.

• Switch off the battery before charging, using
key switch located on the side of the battery.

are on a non-flammable, dry surface away
from sources of heat, humidity and flammable
materials.

or charger whilst charging.
• Only use the charger
supplied with your battery.

your battery a minimum of
once a month.
