Battery Pack Maintenance
Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). Do not expose the battery to fire. Do not discard or destroy the battery. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
A well-maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery to alter each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best: whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically. at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when the temperature rises.
NOTE
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days in Standby Mode. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery: damage caused by over-charging or under-charging will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.
