Fusion Battery - Charging and Best PracticesUpdated 2 hours ago
This article covers common Fusion battery charging questions, troubleshooting tips and best practices to help you get the most from your battery and charger.
Charging to Full vs Storage Charge
Fusion batteries support both:
- Full Charge
- Storage Charge
If you select Storage Charge on the charger when the battery is already above the storage charge level (60%), the charger will stop immediately. This is normal behaviour.
Charging Without the Battery Caddy
The Fusion battery can be charged either:
- through the Battery Caddy
- or by connecting the charger directly to the battery.
Both methods function exactly the same.
Storage Charging After Riding
If you've ridden your battery down to a very low state of charge (single-digit percentage), it is important to recharge it to Storage Charge within a few days.
Fusion batteries contain an active BMS and Bluetooth system which consume a very small amount of power, even while the battery is stored.
Leaving a battery at a very low state of charge for an extended period can result in over-discharge.
Best practice
After your session:
- place the battery on Storage Charge
- allow it to reach storage level
- store it until your next ride.
This keeps the battery healthy and means your next full charge is quicker.
Long-Term Storage (Winter Storage)
If your battery will not be used for several months:
- charge it to Storage Charge
- store it in a cool, dry location.
Important: Do not store a battery that has been discharged below approximately 10% for long periods. Doing so may allow the battery to self-discharge below its safe operating voltage.
A battery stored correctly at Storage Charge can typically remain healthy for many months.
