proper way to use the battery
<< How often to Recharge >>

I was told by the Currie Customer Service (Chatsworth, California) that "To maximize the life of a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery, you should drain it completed for three times first, then recharge it overnight after each subsequent ride". It was a bad advice; it made my battery die after first drain.

Then I bought a new battery from Amazon.

Extra Battery for eZip Bicycle
One of my concerns in riding an eBike was "getting caught" away from home with a dead battery. Further, knowing the distances offered as expected range on the eBikes assumed someone slightly less voluminous than me - that's a mild mannered way of stating I am somewhat rotund. So, it just made sense to have a second battery. This allows me to travel 1 battery's distance away from home, knowing I have a like amount of reserve energy to make it back. Fact is, since using the eBike, I've rarely had to use the second battery to make it home. No surprises with the eBike or the batteries - both work well, and I'm using the older SLA type of battery.m
do not buy it. You will regret
I only charged it about 20 times, then my battery died.

Reminding: the currie tech only has 30 days warranty because they know the quaility of this battery is really bad.
