Charging the battery

[Dai]

Hi, a real beginners question but... I have Raleigh Velo Cite fitted with a Lithium Ion battery. Should I keep the battery topped up or let it run right down before recharging it? Thanks

It's best to avoid completely emptying it always, but don't top up if you've only used a very small part of the content and you don't need the whole lot for your next run. Half used or more is a good time to charge.

Basically the charge extremes are the most damaging, at very empty or as it reaches very full on charging, so the aim is to minimise these occasions.
