Charging the battery

If you only want to go for a quick test run, you do not need
to charge the battery. You should charge it before your first
longer cycle ride however,
Page EN-90, because the battery is only partially charged
(production regulations dictate that batteries are supplied
partially charged by approx. 50 %).
IMPORTANT
Perform a 'learning cycle': You should completely run down a new,
fully charged battery once until the drive assistance stops and
without recharging it in between. In that way, the battery 'learns' its
capacity, and the actual capacity will agree with the level indicated on
the battery status display. As soon as the battery enters Sleep mode,
press the battery button for one second. Then the learn cycle can be
continued. Please perform a learn cycle every six months or 5,000
kilometres. If you do not repeat this from time to time, the actual
capacity of the battery will increasingly diverge from the value on the
battery status display.
