• If a battery fire occurs, do not attempt to directly extinguish it with water. You can
use water to extinguish materials surrounding the battery, but not the chemical
cells themselves. To properly extinguish a burning battery, use a Class ABC or BC
fire extinguisher. Sand can also be used to smother the fire effectively. If possible,
without exposing yourself to any personal risk of injury, bring any heated or ignited
battery or complete bike outside to prevent the fire from spreading. If the battery is
connected to a charger, the first action should be to unplug the charger or cut the
power from the grid.
Charging
• Only use the dedicated Powerplay
• Do not leave the charger in direct sunlight, especially during recharging.
• To recharge the battery:
1. Find the recharging port on the Powerplay
protector.
2. Note the shape of the charging cable connector, and orient it correctly to the
charge port on the bike. Connect the charger to the Powerplay
3. Plug the charger into an electrical source. The LED on the charger will illuminate
red to indicate charging .
4. When the battery is nearing its full charge, it the system will slow the charging
rate down to top up and balance the cells. The charger may alternate between
"charging (red)" and "full (green)" led, at 30 second intervals, for 30 minutes. If the
LED remains green for more than 5 minutes, the battery is fully charged. It is not
necessary to disconnect the charger immediately after the recharge is complete;
however you should not leave the bike connected to the charger for a period
longer than 12 hours.
NOTES:
1. Do not confuse this end of charge situation with a system fault, which will trigger a
rapid blinking of the charger.
2. This end of charge state represents the final 3% of battery charging. You can
disconnect the charger at any time if you are satisfied with the battery level.
• Recharge your Powerplay
• As with all bikes and equipment with lithium-ion batteries, it is recommended to only
recharge the bike under supervision.
• If the battery reaches 50 °C (122 °F), the recharge will be stopped until the battery
temperature drop to 45 °C (113 °F). If the battery drop to 0 °C (32 °F), the recharge
will be stopped until the battery temperature rises to 3 °C(37.4 °F).
• Recharging time will vary depending on remaining energy in the battery.
