Battery Do's and Don'ts Follow

How to charge your Super73 Battery

First, plug-in the charger into a regular wall outlet. Connect the charging cable to the battery. Turn on the battery switch. The switch should be in the “I” position. The battery will not charge unless it is switched on. 

• Do not plug in the charger while the battery is in the on position. 
• Do not use the charger if the charger, main cable or connector cable have any visible signs of damage.

Best way to charge

We recommend charging the battery for 6-8 hours on the first charge. This will help condition the lithium-ion cells for optimal performance. 

A partial and random charge is fine; does not need a full charge.

• Do not charge the battery for more than 48 hours. 
• Do not leave the charger plugged into a wall outlet for more than 48 hours. 

Discharge

Make it a habit to recharge at the end of each ride, so your bike will always be ready to go again.

Charge the battery and use the bike at least once every 90 days.

• Do not store the bike for more than 24 hours with an empty battery. This prevents a deep discharge with irreparable consequences from occurring.

How to prolong battery

Charge the battery at room temperature (20°C, 68°F).

Observe operating conditions between 23°F to 104°F (-5°C to 40°C).

• Do not leave your battery exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time (for example, on the back of a car in direct sunlight).

Storage

Recommended storage temperatures of 14°F to 104°F (-10°C to 40°C), you can optimize its shelf life by storing it at room temperature 68°F (20°C).

• Do not leave your battery exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time (for example, on the back of a car in direct sunlight).
