Hello everyone! While there might not be an exact method to plug in the charger to battery then the power source, I prefer to plug into the battery first, then the power source. Reverse the steps when battery is charged. I highly suggest NOT turning on the bike while IT IS actively charging!!! Keep safe, everyone:) Peace.
Great advice... as a new owner of the Lectric Trike XP, I am glad I saw this, as there are no "this first, this 2nd" instructions to be had. Cheers~
You're welcome!
So glad I watched this just now 😂
I hope it helped you some how :)
To the person that experienced this problem I really hope it wasn't something serious! I do thank you for bringing this to my attention so I could make a quick video and hopefully other people can avoid a similar problem while charging their battery.
The box my charger came in(Wuxi DPower Electronics), has a user manual that says:
1) Connect the connector pin of battery case firstly, and then the alternating current power supply. (I believe this means plug the bike in first, and the plug into the outlet, then attach the ac brick to the cord fron the outlet)
2. Red is charging, Green is fully charged
3. When the batteries are fully charged(green light on), unplug the connector pin of ac power supply firstly, and then that of battery case. (So unplug the brick from the outlet cord, then unplug the bike)
I believe this is to prevent damage from short circuit or arching since the safest place for unplugging to happen while the charger is connected to power is the part that attaches the brick/ac power supply to the cord plugged into the outlet.
But Lectric's website says to simply plug the charger into the bike to start charging and to simply discinnect when done charging, while also mentioning that the charger is "smart" and prevents overcharging. Im not sure how much it really matters and I'm not sure I am personally too concerned enough to take the extra steps. 😂
I always plug into the battery first, then plug into the AC outlet. When disconnecting I unplug from AC first, then unplug the cord from battery port.
@@PandafooYes this is the way Lectric customer service rep told me that it should be done👍👍
Thank you so much for this information wife and I have been goin back and fourth on how to charge the bike properly and I was right so thanks for the confirmation! I just sent her this video she may listen to you over me lol
You are very welcome
If u READ THE DIRECTIONS, IT SAYS THE CHARGER WILL LIGHT UP GREEN WHEN IT IS FULLY CHARGING! That’s all u need to do.
Yes! Green light means you are ready to go:) Once it is green, unplug from AC outlet then the battery charging plug.
I don't usually fully charge unless I'm going on a long ride. I charge to about 85% most of the time. I heard that this makes the battery life last longer.
burned up my display doing this yesterday. Weekend is toast, but Lectric is sending me a new one.
Glad they are replacing it!
Isn't that little light on the battery charger suppose to turn GREEN with it's fully charged? A lot of problems could be prevented if people just took the time to check the Manual.
yes, the light turns green when fully charged
Should I use a surge protector as well? or it doesn't matter if I don't turn it on while charging?
I plug my charger into a surge protector as it was already there plugged into the wall.
How can one determine the on:off position of the key, when it is a brand new ebike?
Key will face directly at front wheel when turned on. Not sideways, but like a straight line.
Can you take the battery off to charge
yes
Can I charge the batter alone? removed from bike. Or does it have to be in it ?
It is okay to remove the battery and charge it on its own. Make sure the key is turned off before doing so.
@@Pandafoo awesome, thank you.
I just bought an ebike, do I remove the battery from the ebike everytime I charge? Thank you
if you have an open access point to plug your battery in while inside the frame or on the bike, then you do not need to remove the battery. Make sure the battery is turned off before you charge it and DO NOT turn the bike on while it is charging, okay.
My charger light wont go green even on the bikes screen shows full charge
Replace the charger as it might be defective!
If it's under warranty, contact the company.
I got 300 miles on mine only 2months old and my battery all of a sudden wont hold charge. Just shuts down at 53volts and wont turn on until fully charged again
Yikes that is not good! Hopefully you contacted Lectric and had them send you a new battery as it would still be under warranty.
@@Pandafoo yup just got off phone with electric. My battery is faulty they are sending me a replacement
Had same problem with our Dyson vacum battery.... bad battery... replaced and works fine for 2 years now...
hey, so you said to have the bike off while it’s charging. Do you need to have the key in while it’s charging? Or do you keep the key out and then plug it in?
Keep the key in the off position while charging
@@Pandafoo Ok thank you
Can i charge the battery while it's not inside bike?
Yes you can!
Lectric should have eliminated any damage due to turning on bike while charging. QA issue
Yes, like maybe some kind of resettable fuse button like you might find on a hair dryer or such.
When in charge my bike ...the goes red then green every 1 minute ... Can someone explain this?
Make sure the connections are solid. If it keeps doing that then STOP charging and consult Lectric as it might be your charger or battery. This could be an unsafe situation if the battery or charger is defective.
I’m on my second charger they sent me a new one after the first one light didn’t want to turn on now the second one don’t work they don’t want to send a new one and I’m not buying it either F dat
That sucks you are having bad luck with the chargers. My original one is still working thank god!!!
Hi, common sense is in short supply now days. I saw a Idiot smoking a cig while on the phone, leaning against his car while pumping gas this week. I had stopped fora wonderful handmade Taco at a local store.
I agree, but alot of people turn their bikes on while charging to monitor the voltage if they are storing the bikes over winter to keep THAT happy 75%. IDK, seems like there should be an easier way to to monitor that
@@Pandafoo I bought a battery tender that has a plug the charger kind of like a pass thru. Aliexpress has them. It was about 12.00. Measures voltage and charge rate.
Wow thank God I’ve never seen that happen…I believe I’d have to call the fool out on that one! He could threaten everyone at the damn gas station! What stupidity.
They didn't put that in the instruction manual... and I'm on my first charge.. Oops. I'll turn it off
Who really cares about watching the voltage ? Just wait for the green light on the charger....then you are good to go.
Voltage is VERY important if you are storing the battery or not riding it for any prolonged period. You do not store a fully charged battery!
If your concerned about the voltage just unplug the charger from the bike, switch on the key and check the voltage on the display. If you're charging the battery out of the bike use a multimeter and check the voltage at the battery terminals. It ain't rocket science.
