E-Bike 36V Service Manual - Chapter Three
NOTE
When a battery is new, the LED may rapidly
flicker instead of turning to green. This is not a
problem. The battery is fully charged and can
be used. The flicking will cease after several
use/recharge cycles.
5. Plug the male end of the charging cord into
a standard 110V/60 cycle electrical outlet. The
charger LED turns red and the cooling fan
automatically turns on. The LED switches to
green and the cooling fan turns off when the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the LED switches to flashing orange,
unplug the charger immediately. Check for an
intermittent connection in the charging cord, at
the battery terminals, or in the battery-to-
charger connections. If there are no intermit-
tent connections, replace the battery.
If the LED does not illuminate, unplug the
charger immediately. Replace the charger.
If the charger operates (the LED turns red
and the fan operates), but the charger does not
turn off after four hours, unplug the charger
immediately.

described later in this chapter. If the charger is
faulty, replace it. If the charger is working,
replace the battery.
