6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Charging the Battery

1. After completing the setup steps, the charging process will begin automatically.
2. Observe the LED indicator on the charger (if present).
   • Red Light: Typically indicates the battery is charging.
   • Green Light: Typically indicates the battery is fully charged.

   Note: LED indicator behavior may vary slightly. Refer to your e-bike battery manual for specific charging light interpretations if available.

3. Once the battery is fully charged (indicated by the LED turning green), disconnect the charger from the battery first, then unplug the AC power cable from the wall outlet.

6.2. Charging Time

Charging time depends on the battery's capacity and its current charge level. A 2A charger will typically take longer to charge a battery compared to a higher amperage charger. For example, a 10Ah battery would theoretically take approximately 5 hours to fully charge from empty (10Ah / 2A = 5 hours), not accounting for charging efficiency losses.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from all power sources before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep cables neatly coiled to prevent damage.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cables and connectors for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace immediately if damage is found.
