battery query

[priscilla]

I took delivery of my Wisper on 22nd Dec. The battery was fully charged and I had planned to do my conditioning runs asap. However, I still haven't been able to use the bike at all due to the snow and am concerned about the battery as I understand it is not good to leave them without a charge-up for too long, but am unsure because of the need to fully discharge for the first few charges.

Realistically I think it may be at least another 2 weeks before I'm able to use the bike so should I be charging it or would that be bad for a new battery?

Charge it now, you'll be fine for two weeks Priscilla, don't worry...

Hi Priscilla

As NRG says you could charge for an hour just to keep it top notch but you would be OK if you left it for another month. After that time if you still haven't used it charge it every 4 weeks for two hours.

All the best

Thanks both for the info - it's really helpful to have the specifics.

Snowing again here today Looks like battery charging is the only exercise I'll be getting for a while!
