SPECFICIATIONS

• Description
  The A-Series ebike battery packs are intended to be mounted on a standard bicycle frame using the battery mounted provided. This user manual includes instructions for two common and recommended mounting positions for your reference.

• Compatibility
  This battery pack is designed to be compatible with CYC Motor Ltd’s mid- drive motor system product range. Please note that the power output of the system will be dependent on the specific motor and battery combination chosen. Different motor and batteries may provide varying levels of performance and range. We recommend consulting with CYC Motor Ltd or authorized resellers for guidance on selecting the appropriate motor and battery combination to best suit your riding needs and preferences.

• Battery Types
  There are different types of bike batteries, with the power and quality varying depending on the battery you have chosen to purchase. Depending on the power demands or energy consumption of your bike, the riding range and life of a battery can vary.

• Battery Range
  The range of an electric bike varies greatly and depends on several factors. It depends on the power rating of the battery, the support position, and the weight of the rider. External factors such as environment, temperature and wind conditions also influence the range. A flat even surface will always provide increased range over a hilly uneven surface when riding. Colder environments can decrease range by up to 40%, in extreme conditions it is normal for a battery to have a lower range during winter months.

• Maximise Range:
  Your battery should be fully charged before departure. You can increase your range by inflating the tyres, as the bike will have less rolling resistance. Carry your charger with you if you are planning a long ride and recharge when taking a break.

Battery Life Expectancy

Lithium batteries are very reliable, and the lifetime of your battery is expressed in the number of cycles of charging and then discharging/emptying. About 1000 complete cycles are normal for most lithium bike batteries. However, poor maintenance and handling will greatly impact the life of your battery, no matter the age of the battery. If you wish to extend the life of the pack, keeping the battery between 20% and 80% state of charge will greatly increase the life expectancy of the pack.

• Do not open the battery without special instruction.
• Do not invert the battery module inside the pack.

Storage

The batteries should be stored at room temperature, charged to about 30% to 50% capacity. Batteries should be charged about once per half year to prevent over discharge if placed in long-term storage.

NOTICE: Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long period without being used. In addition, if the various usage conditions such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc. are not within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery may be shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte leakage. If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate it is time to change the battery
