- Over-discharge Protection — Automatically cuts off before voltage drops too low
- Overcurrent Protection — Shuts down if discharge exceeds safe limits
- Short Circuit Protection — Instant disconnect in case of short circuit
- Low Temperature Charge Protection — Prevents charging below 32°F (0°C) to protect cell health and prevent damage
- Over-temperature Protection — Monitors temperature during charge (≥50°C) and discharge (≥70°C)
- Cell Balancing — Keeps all cells at equal voltage for maximum lifespan
Battery Care Tips
- Charge regularly — Don't leave the battery fully discharged. Charge at least once every 2-3 months even if not riding.
- Avoid extreme cold charging — Never charge below 32°F (0°C). Bring the battery indoors before charging in winter.
- Store at 50-70% charge — For storage longer than 2 weeks, charge to about 60%.
- Use the included charger only — Third-party chargers may damage the battery or void warranty.
- Keep connections dry — Wipe the charge port dry before plugging in the charger.
- Inspect regularly — Check for visible damage, swelling, or unusual odors. Stop using and contact support if you notice any issues.
