Battery Care and Maintenance
What to Expect of Your Batteries, Ideally
The battery is a sealed lead-acid type, with a gel
electrolyte. With normal use, it can last for well over 300
charge/discharge cycles.
Know that normal use should mean partial, and not
complete discharging. If you employ “shallow” discharge
cycles, using less than 30% of battery’s capacity, the
battery can achieve up to 1,200 charge/discharge cycles.
Thus, it is good to charge the battery after each ride. A
partial discharge will require less time on the chargers.
What to Expect, Realistically
The battery can keep its performance for about 200
charge/discharge cycles, with high current and deep
(80%) discharging. The storage capacity of the battery
will decline after 200 times recharging. If you re-charge
the battery before it is exhausted, you will dramatically
extend the battery’s cycle life.
In Summary
Always try to recharge the Battery Pack within 24 hours
after use to maximize battery cycle life and prevent
damage.
