Does this need to be wired into the bike's battery or can you charge it for use prior to riding?

Adaptiv unit comes with a wiring harness that needs to be wired directly to the battery.

Its powered by the bikes battery. Running the wires can take a little time and skill to do cleanly.

I'm sorry, I can't answer this question for you. I ended up returning this product because it was too big.

I haven't had to charge it. It holds a charge very well. It should be good with a jet ski as it takes a beating on my bike.

It does come fully charged, and is a great battery. I recommend getting their charger, though. It has diagnostics, auto shutoff, etc. On the bike I ride 3x a week, I've never had any issues with that Shorai battery. But my Aprilia Mille has a parasitic drain and needs a maintenance charger (and needs lots of power to start). I have had issues with other batteries in that bike before Shorai, and I've had issues with the first Shorai battery I put in it. But Shorai replaced that battery with no problem (great customer service) while strongly recommending their charger and "best practices" guidelines. See http://shoraipower.com/faq.

The bike should do fine. The battery gives me 30-35 miles before I need a charge.

Yes, it comes with the wiring harness that connects directly to the battery and a lot more. Nothing stops it from running down your battery. You have to take the Rider off the mount if you are going to walk away from the bike for the day. Then connect it back on when you are going for a ride or your battery will be as dead as a door nail in just a few days. It's a small price to pay. That unit is wonderful.

It is basically just an extension cord. It comes with plenty length to put it anywhere on the bike, but you would need to make your own mount. I just leave it inside my saddlebag and use it to charge my iPhone/iPod while riding.

It looks like you can take it off the bike and charge it if you want. It is held in place on the bottom base and then two small bolts up the battery pack. The base is behind the petals and has a power cord that goes to the hub motor on the rear wheel. I myself would like to know how to buy/replace the battery pack. Does anybody know? It is a well built bike. It augments hill climes well.

I don't know about that. The battery does not pull out in order to charge (like it does on some play jeeps or vehicles), rather the plug fits directly into the bike frame.

There is a power cord included in the box. From what I can remember (my first bike was damaged and I am waiting for a replacement) the hole to insert the cord is in the front right above the cross piece that supports the bike. I hope I am remembering correctly and I hope this helped!

The outdoor unit must be plugged into a power supply before use. We did that, but the battery would not charge.

Yes, the bike is not dependent on batteries. The batteries allow the attached computer to compile minutes exercised, heart rate, etc. I personally prefer using batteries as opposed to the A/C adapter as the bike is not tethered to an electrical outlet.

When we received the battery it did not need to be charged before using. But you should charge it after each use. Hope this helps!

It is the battery bay in case you do not have the plug-in adapter. Also, you can access the manual online: http://www.manualowl.com/m/Schwinn/A10-Upright-Bike/Manual/351993

My riding toy came with a charger that you plug your battery into and then plug it into an electrical socket. I do it overnight because it takes awhile to get a full charge.

I am not really sure - my brother has the bike and he charges when not in use. IT IS AN AMAZING BIKE!

I've bought two Shorai's in the last two years. Both came fully charged, or at least enough to start the bikes and ride. I use my regular Battery Tender charger on them when necessary.

The battery is removable & can be charged when not in the bike. I would say it should take about 1.5 - 2 hours to charge it to 80%. I hope this helps you.
