Battery charging: on or off the bike?

[allen-uk]

According to the Wisper 905 manual (p10) you can charge the battery ON or OFF the bike.

But the earlier pages in that manual (pp5-6) seem to deal exclusively with an OFF bike charge.

It would suit me to charge the battery on the bike, in a dry ventilated area, so are there any good reasons for removing it from the bike?


Thanks.

Only if or when or there's a possibility of the ambient temp dropping to freezing, otherwise charge on the bike....

Nah, it'd be in the hallway of my flat, where the bike lives, so temperature constant 65 ish.

Thanks.

Battery questions

i took ownership of my Urban Mover last week. I had some trouble with a faulty charging unit, but UM relaced this imediately, which I thought was very encouraging from a new owner point of view.
My question is the battery indicator on the handle bars drops from 3 lights to 2 and even 1 light while I am cycling home, which is at the top of a steep hill. When I near my home the 3 lights illuninate, is this usual and how do you know what is the exact state of the power?
