Battery Care

To ensure your new ZAP battery gives its best performance,

these following suggestions must be followed.

1)Your ZAP Power System should be stored and charged at temperatures between 50° F (10° C) and 100° F (38° C).

2)Keep your battery charged. Batteries stored for long periods of time will self-discharge. The higher the temperature, the greater the rate of self-discharge.

3)Keep the terminals clean and tight.

4)Handle it with care (don’t drop it).

5)Recharge your battery as soon as you can after riding. The ZAP battery will take 4-10 cycles of riding and charging to bring the battery up to its full potential. Greater depth of discharge on a continual basis will diminish the overall life of the battery (see charts below).

BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT

Batteries must be recycled. To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of properly. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of lead-acid batteries in ordinary trash. Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
