Charging interface
Description of battery power indicator
In the charging state, the indicator light shows the battery power.
After the battery is fully charged, all indicator lights are normally on
and will no longer flash.
14
In the Non-Charging state, press the power display button:
In the normal state, the indicator shows the battery power.
Each grid displays 20% of power.
Battery Manual
Before using the battery, please make sure that the battery is the
original battery, and do not use other brand or type of battery.
Check whether the appearance of the battery is intact, and ensure that
there are no obvious phenomena such as damage, liquid leakage,
overheat, water immersion and smoke.
In order to ensure transportation safety, the power of the battery when
leaving the factory is about 50% (when transported by air, the power
Indicator
15
of the battery leaving the factory is about 30%). Due to
self-consumption factors such as transportation cycle and storage
cycle, when using the battery for the first time, the battery will have
low or no power, which is a normal phenomenon. Please don't worry,
just charge it according to the charging instructions.
Waste batteries shall not be dismantled without authorization, and
shall be recycled by relevant professional department.
Use Environment
Please use the
battery
at-10℃-45℃
Please avoid
the battery
being soaked
by liquid such
as water,
beverage and
corrosive
liquid
Please avoid
keeping the
battery close to
heat source,
open flame and
inflammable
and explosive
gas (liquid)
Please avoid
metallic
foreign body
from entering
the battery
box
At low temperature, the available capacity of the battery will decline
in different degrees. For example: the available capacity is 70%
at-10℃, 85% at 0℃ and 100% at 25℃.
In case of abnormal conditions such as peculiar smell, overheat and
deformation, please stop using the battery immediately, stay away
from the battery and contact the dealer.
16
The battery is not the component that can be repaired by the user. In
case of abnormal phenomenon, please contact the dealer. If the battery
is disassembled without permission, the user will not enjoy the
three-guarantee service, and the battery may be heated, smoked, on
fire or exploded.
Charging Environment
Please use the
original charger to
charge the battery,
and do not use other
brand or type of
charger to charge the
battery.
Please charge the
battery at the ambient
temperature of
0℃~35℃
Please do not charge
the battery for more
than 8 hours,
otherwise the service
life of the battery will
be affected.
In the early stage, the charging speed is fast, and in the later stage,
the charging speed is slow, which is because that the procedure is
set for charging safety and belongs to the normal condition.
In the winter, if the outdoor temperature is low and below 0℃,
the charging will be suspended, which is a normal phenomenon.
Please charge the battery at a suitable ambient temperature to
ensure the charging effect.
During charging, some aluminum shell chargers have the thermal
effect, and the surface temperature is high, which is a normal
phenomenon, so please feel free to use the charger. Please avoid
children touching the charger.
17
Precautions for Charger Use
The charger can only be used indoor.
It is strictly forbidden to charge the battery in a confined space or
in the high temperature environment, and the battery shall not be
placed in the seat bucket or tail box during charging.
During charging, plug the battery, then connect the charger to the
commercial power; After the battery is fully charged, cut off the
commercial power and then unplug the battery.
When the green light is on, please cut off the power in time. It's
forbidden to connect the charger to the AC power for a long time
when the battery is not being charged.
In the charging process, if the indicator is abnormal, the charger
has peculiar smell or the charger shell is overheated, please
immediately stop charging the battery and repair or replace the
charger.
Please do not disassemble the charger or replace the components
in the charger by yourself.
When the charger is replaced, the new charger should match the
battery model.
Storage Environment
If the battery is placed on the vehicle, the battery power will be
consumed in real time due to the operation of the alarm system.
After being placed on the vehicle for a period of time, the
instrument shows that the electric quantity is reduced, and this is
normal.
Please store the battery in an environment at 0℃~25℃, and do
not store the battery in the environment at the temperature higher
18
than 40℃, otherwise the capacity of the battery will be
irreversibly attenuated.
In winter, summer or other special circumstances, if the vehicle is
not used for a long time, the battery must be taken out of the
vehicle, stored separately, maintained and charged regularly,
otherwise the battery may be completely drained and irreversibly
damaged. With regard to such problems, the battery failure will
not be covered under warranty.
When the battery is stored for a long time, the most suitable
battery power is 50%. If the battery power is lower than 10% or
higher than 90%, the battery capacity will be irreversibly
attenuated.
With regard to the self-consumption protection mode when the
lithium battery is stored safely, the technical standards are as
follows:
1. If the battery is not used for a long time, it can be stored on the
vehicle (the battery plug is not unplugged) and the maximum safe
storage period is 15 days, otherwise the battery feeding may be
caused and the battery cannot be restored.
2. If the battery is not used for a long time, the power is no less than
50% and the battery is stored separately and stored on the vehicle
(the battery plug is unplugged), the maximum safe storage period
shall be 2 months, otherwise the battery feeding may be caused
and the battery cannot be restored.
Please do not store the battery in a place with the falling risk,
otherwise the battery will be damaged uncontrollably and the
battery will be leaked, heated, smoked, on fire or exploded.
Undervoltage and feeding of the battery caused by improper use
will not be covered under warranty.
19
Precautions for Battery Use:
When using the battery for the first time, please drain the battery
as much as possible, then fully charge it before formally using it,
so as to ensure that the actual capacity of the battery is as accurate
as the electric quantity displayed on the instrument.
In the later period, please keep the battery power at least 20% and
charge the battery in time, so as to prolong the service life of the
battery.
When riding a motorcycle normally, it is recommended to control
the speed at the middle speed. When starting the motorcycle,
please slowly operate the throttle handle and gradually accelerate
the motorcycle, thus extending the battery life.
When the battery is used for many times, there will be a deviation
between the actual capacity of the battery and the electric quantity
displayed on the meter. Please charge and discharge the battery
completely at regular intervals (no more than 3 months). The
internal battery core and intelligent system can automatically
calibrate the electric quantity of the battery, thus improving the
experience effect.
It is recommended to check the power plug of the battery every
two months, and confirm whether the contact reed has the
phenomena such as carbon deposition and oxidation (blackening).
In case of these phenomena, please contact the dealer for
maintenance.
The battery shall not be caught in the rain or flushed by water,
and shall not be soaked in water. If the vehicle wades into the water,
the water level shall not exceed the height of the battery compartment,
otherwise the water will enter into the battery and the battery will be
short circuited, thus causing the permanent battery failure. In this case,
it is forbidden to charge the whole vehicle or battery again, otherwise
