Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures.
While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature extremes, both
will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to be
replaced sooner.
Handling the Battery
The battery contains large amounts of electrical power. You must use caution and respect when
handling it. Not following these instructions can result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Follow these instructions closely. Use care when handling your battery.
•
Always lift the battery with both hands, and carry it with care. Never drop the battery. If the
case is damaged, the contents may leak out.
•
Never puncture or open the battery case. The contents are dangerous and may cause
injury. Do not touch the contents of a leaking battery. Seek help immediately.
•
Do not touch the two metal poles on the battery box at the same time. This can cause a
short-circuit. It could injure you or others and cause serious damage to the electrical systems in
the e-bike. Your battery contains significant amounts of electrical power.
•
Do not handle your battery if either you or the battery are wet. Water is an excellent
conductor of electricity. You may experience an electrical shock, and you may be injured.
