Hi,
I just finished my whole thread of questions, but I wasn't logged in so it wouldn't save.
Anyway, I just got my Giant Lite and I am very exciting. If the weather cooperates I am hoping to get it out this weekend. I have a couple of questions regarding the battery.
Can I overcharge the battery?
According to the instructions, when the red light on the charger changes from a blinking red light to a solid red light, the battery is 80% full. How much longer should I charge it to reach 100%? Is there a way to know from the battery when I reach 100%?
On the battery, there is a meter and a push button. What is the purpose of the push button? When the red light on the charger stops blinking, the battery meter is red. Should this ever change to green?
Do I need to worry about battery memory? I don't want to hold of on charging at work for my ride home, because I can't make it roundtrip on one charge.
From what I have read on these forums, I need to charge and discharge the battery a few times to get the battery in the best shape possible. Is there an easy way to do this? I don't want to ride and ride until I get a dead battery and end up stuck someplace with a dead battery.
Also, is there anything else you think I need to know about the Giant Lite battery or the Giant Lite in general.
Thanks for all of your help.
Neil
