New owner, wondering if I can leave it and not have it overcharge. I did the first charge and even at 100% the charger fans were running. I unplugged it at that point because I wanted to test it out. So I’m just curious how it works.? Thanks

It balance charges at the end,it will shut off when done. -
at end of charge - charger will cycle on/off several times - this is balancing pack - charger will Stop when complete -Comment

Yes. Don't keep it plugged in forever, though.
It shuts down when it figures the battery is charged REGARDLESS of what charge level is indicated. i.e. battery will charge to 100% and the charger will keep "charging," but stops when it's good & ready.Comment

The charger starts out charging at 10amps but as it nears the end it gradually tapers down to .02amp berfore shutting down at 67.3 volts.Out of balance batteries will take longer even if it says 100%,always let it finish so you don’t get your battery out of whack.This is with the stock charger.
One other important non charger related item:These batteries degrade if left fully charged for very long( more than 8hrs)Will reduce the life of the battery and duration you can ride.Last edited by Kauaiguy; 06-26-2021, 11:04 AM.Comment

Haha, all this great info.
Another tip..... when you're not charging, unplug the charger from the wall.Comment

Thanks for the info guys, Any idea where to pick up a heavy-duty bash guard?Comment

Ok got the bash guard from Luna but another question related to the battery? Can you charge it with the 2 connectors are still plugged into the battery. I can't find anything on this in the manual. I would assume so but should it be disconnected first?Comment

You can charge the battery with the data plug and power plug in and with circuit breaker on.I usually remove my battery before I wash my bike so it gets charged off the bike and that’s ultimately the safest way for bike and house if you charge away from fire hazardsComment

So say we ride all day Sunday and drain the battery to 18%, and we don't plan to ride it for a few days. Should I charge it to 60% Sunday, then the rest on the day I want to ride it a few days later or 100% Sunday and let it sit that way for a few days? What's the best practice to get the best life from it?Comment

60-70 is a good storage charge so leave it around there,than charge the rest of the way the morning of your rideComment

I will Copy and print that information and place it onto my SRX-LB notes.Originally posted by Kauaiguy View Post
In post #5 you say ""one other important non charger related item""
I would say.. It`s a very important charger related item. (we all want our batteries to last as long as possible)

today i charged my battery to 80% , an hour or so later rode the bike.
Question: do i cause any harm to battery longevity by stopping charge before 100% ? and further: Any harm to charger, shutting it off before cooling fan stops?
thank youComment
