BATTERY CARE
TO ENSURE THE ZAP BATTERY GIVES ITS BEST PERFORMANCE:
1) Store and charge your ZAPPY at temperatures between 50° F
(10° C) and 100° F (38° C).
2) Keep your battery charged. Batteries stored for long periods of
time will self-discharge. The higher the temperature, the greater
the rate of self-discharge.
3) Keep the terminals clean and tight.
4) Handle with care (don't drop it).
5) Recharge your battery as soon as you can after riding.
6) The ZAP battery will take 4-10 cycles of riding and charging to
bring the battery up to its full potential.
7) DEEP DEPTH OF DISCHARGE ON A CONTINUAL BASIS WILL
DIMINISH THE OVERALL LIFE OF THE BATTERY.
8) Always disconnect the battery power connector when shipping or
storing the battery.
9) Do not leave the charger connected to the battery for more than
48 hours.
