|
3WARNING |
|---|
|
Incorrectly charging the high voltage battery could result in electric shock or fire, which may kill or seriously hurt you.
Follow the procedures and instructions described in this manual and instruction manual for charging cable regarding how to charge the high voltage battery. |
Where to Charge
Charge the high voltage battery in the following locations.
Level location where the vehicle is stable.
Well ventilated location that is not damp.
|
Operating temperature for charging:
0 to 40 °C |
When the high voltage battery temperature is below -10 °C or too high, charging is not possible.
Charging outside the recommended temperature range may reduce charging capacity and riding distance.
Charging times will be slower when the high voltage battery temperature is high, such as after riding or in a high-temperature environment, or when temperatures are below 0°C.
Charging Time
For charge time the high voltage battery, confirm the below.

The suggested full charging time in this table indicates the hours it may likely take for the High Voltage battery to be fully charged with the ambient temperature at 25°C. You can see the remaining time until charging completion on the meter.
Charging time varies depending on conditions, such as the remaining battery level and the ambient temperature.
Precautions when Charging
If you use 230 volt charging cable, make sure to use a dedicated and properly grounded circuit that can supply 10 amps continuously. The 230 volt charging cable draws approximately 10 amps.
Have an electrician inspect the outlet you are using to see if it meets these criteria.
|
3WARNING |
|---|
|
Using a 230 volt wall outlet that is rated less than 10 amps or one that is powering other devices can cause a fire, seriously injuring you or others.
When using the 230 volt charging cable, use a dedicated and properly grounded circuit rated 10 amps or more. Consult an electrician if you are not sure. |
When you plug the AC plug into the electric outlet, be sure to plug it all the way in.
|
3WARNING |
|---|
|
Improper usage and handling of the 230 volt charger can cause a fire, seriously injuring you or others.
Always insert the plug fully into a properly rated and grounded the wall outlet.
Plug the charging cable directly to the wall outlet. Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters.
Prevent the vehicle charging connector from becoming contaminated. Clean if necessary. |
Charging the high voltage battery when it is cold results in a low charge.
If the battery is cold, you can recover the charge by charging the high voltage battery while they are warm after you have been riding.
If the vehicle falls over while charging, stop charging immediately.
The charging cable becomes hot during charging, but this is not a problem.
You may hear static on the radio during charging.
Charging stops during a power outage.
For other precautions, refer to the instruction manual for charging cable.
