6.Battery Pack and Charging Mode
Battery pack
There are three battery specifications (72V48Ah, 32Ah, 30Ah) available for CAOFEN electric motorcycles. Unique fully submerged liquid cooling
and heat management solution is adopted for 72V48Ah and 72V32Ah batteries, greatly guaranteeing the safety and service life of the battery.
Liquid cooling technology of battery:
● CAOFEN's unique fully submerged liquid cooling and heat management solution in the industry
● IP67 battery module is fully submerged in the compound environment-friendly liquid cooling solvent. The solvent with high specific heat capacity
is conducive to rapid heat dissipation and heat balance of the battery. The typical temperature difference is not more than 2 ℃ so as to maintain the
consistency of cell temperature and effectively extends the battery service life.
● Internal power battery system, BMS and other electrical components are all covered with liquid "safety film" and arranged in flame-retardant ABS
frame structure, and the battery cells are all kept independently insulated in all directions. A flexible shockproof EVA is placed between the two cells,
with coolant flowing in the middle to isolate water and air, providing a different guarantee for battery safety and creating a larger time window of life
safety in extreme cases.
● The cell is gold-plated to ensure sufficient current capacity and 5,000 times of plugging and unplugging. The terminal is designed to be locked,
namely it can be locked in place to ensure full contact under all working conditions. Special machining technology allows the motorcycle to meet the
IP68 waterproof and dustproof requirements.
● The low-temperature charging system (0 to -40℃) is capable to charge the battery anytime and anywhere in case of emergencies, and prevent the
cell from dangerous charging at low temperature.
● The magnesium alloy case has superior strength protection and excellent heat dissipation performance. The weight of the case is 1/3 less than that
Page16 of 61
of the aluminum alloy case of the same volume and 1/5 of the weight of the steel case, enabling the motorcycle to have more endurance mileage.

the same.

Motorcycle Charging Mode
Charging procedure
1. Check the charger and ensure that it is the original one matched with the
battery.
2. Turn on the battery power switch.
3. Connect the charger output plug with the battery charging port (check
whether it is plugged in place).
4. Connect the mains power input terminal of the charger to the AC socket
(input voltage: AC110V-AC220V).
5. After 3-5 seconds, the charger indicator flashes, the fan rotates and the
charger start charging; after the battery is fully charged, the indicator turns
green and flashes.
6. After fully charged, cut off the commercial power supply, and then
Page18 of 61
remove the power plug.
Battery User Manual
● Before putting the battery into service, please ensure that it is original, and do not use other brands or types of batteries.
● Before use, check whether the battery is in good condition, and ensure that there is no obvious damage, liquid leakage, water immersion, smoking,
overheating, etc.
● For the safety during transportation, the rated capacitance of the battery is 50%-80% when it is delivered. Due to the influence of self-consumption
factors such as transportation and storage cycle, there is low battery power or even no power when the battery is used for the first time. It is normal,
and do not worry. Just charge it once according to the instructions.
● Do not connect the charger to AC power supply or charge the battery in a confined space or at high temperature.

7. Environment and Precautions
Page19 of 61
Operating Environment
● Use the liquid-cooled battery
between -40 ℃ and 50 ℃.
● Use lithium iron phosphate
battery between -10℃ and 45℃.
● Protect the battery from being
soaked by water, beverages and
corrosive liquids.
● Do not wash the interior and
meter of the motorcycle with water
cannon.
● Keep your motorcycle or battery
away from open flame, heat source,
and flammable and explosive gas or
liquid.
● Keep the metal or other
conductive objects from entering the
battery case.
● Do not short-circuit the anode
and cathode of the battery with wire
or other metal object.
■ At low temperatures, the available capacity of the battery will be decreased to different degrees, which will shorten the riding mileage. As long as it
is not abnormally decreased significantly, it is normal. If you have questions, please contact the local distributor or after-sales service center of
CAOFEN.
■ If the battery is abnormal in heating, scorched smell, smoking or special sour liquid leakage, stop using it immediately and contact the local
after-sales service center or our company in time!
■ The battery cannot be repaired by the user. If it is abnormal, please contact the distributor. Unprofessional disassembly may cause the battery to be
heated, smoked, caught on fire or exploded. If the user opens the battery case without permission, he will not enjoy the three-pack policy. If the user
opens the battery case without permission, the Three Guarantees policy will become inapplicable.
