What about the built in charging system on my bike. Will this damage the battery?

No your charging system will not harm it as long as it is 12 volts and in good working order.

It will damage the battery if it is an anti-sulfation charger. You might need to check with the manufacture to see if it is.

I own three of these antigravity batteries they are in 2 Harley's and 1 yamaha . Very powerful battery with no charging issues at all .

That's a question for the seller but in my opinion that's only for external charging internal charging of a vehicle has a voltage regulator, only thing I can think of but again I'm just a consumer like you.

I asked this very question of the technicians at Anti Gravity and they told me the factory charging systems on cars and motorcycles will not hurt the AntiGravity batteries. It's the bench chargers that could cause damage. I bought a special charger direct from antigravity just to keep the battery charged during the off season. Hope that helps.

Recharging battery would require you pedaling with twice the effort as pedaling a normal bike!Kinda defeats the purpose of an electric bike ...Even the expensive bikes (with regen) that can recharge going down hills, produce minimal electricity."Regen" is ... effectively a braking system and ... minimally effective as a recharging system.

According to the information I read the built in charger is a float charger meaning it will not overcharge if left plugged in. There is something else offered if you keep it in your vehicle, they will send you mail when it will need a recharge based on when it was last charged. I might add I am very pleased with the performance of this unit.

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.

Yes - the charger is like a Laptop charger - a transformer in the middle with wires plugged in to outlet and bike. When I got the bike, I thought I'd be pulling off the battery and charging it, but I never do that. The battery stays on the bike and I just plug in the wire to the battery (again, similar to a laptop).

Theoretically you could rig a way to do this but not sure what this buys you. with a 36 volt 12 ah battery it would take a long time at 10 watts to charge up your battery. best to bike home. ken

I use a trickle or maintainer battery charger and some regular chargers they have a mode for motorcycle batteries or low amp charging.

The battery had more than enough charge to easily start my motorcycle. I then let the motorcycle charge the battery. I have also used a 1.5 amp trickle charger without an issue. I would not use a fast 4 amp plus charger.

Hi Carlos - after I installed new battery, I left it to charge but looked at it about 15 minutes later and the window was charged up when it had been at zero before I put in battery. I don't think you can ruin battery if your phone is charged and you use it, and you can't go wrong with the price. It's been working like a dream.

Yes, most bikes with BYI Lithium batteries come with chargers. Its very rare that e-bikes will come without chargers.

Im not 100 percent sure but ive left my lights on over night by accident and it didn't kill my battery. But every bike is different.

This rechargeable battery is not dependent on the type of bike. It is placed into a plastic bracket which is connected to a bar on the bike via an adjustable rubber strap. It can be taken out of the bracket and be used anywhere. I keep it in a book bag and use in coffee shops when I cannot plug my device in. Hope this helps.

take the battery out and plug into a regular AC outlet using the charge adapter that came with the bike

My understanding is that it can be left on... indefinitely. That's what I'm currently doing for my 48V electric bike. Per literature with the "Save A Battery 2365-48 48-volt Battery Charger and Maintainer", "Extends battery life the longer it is plugged in".

Hi, this is a voltage increasing device. Current will actually be a little less. If you want to increase the amount of charge power, you need to get a bigger alternator for your bike, or buy a large boost convertor that runs off a isolated battery. Dan

It is not recommended. Shorai has their own charger that properly charges this type of battery. I can tell you that my bike has sat for a couple of months not connected to any type of charger and it fires right up with this battery like it was brand new. I would recommend it.

I probably wouldn't if it were mine. Some electronics and batteries may be damaged by a power source that provides too much current (Your charger needs .3 amps and this supply puts out 1 amp). The device I am using with my power supply is a cheapy unit that is inexpensive, so no harm if it gets fried. I am also using my power supply to take the place of batteries, not for charging batteries like you're wanting to do. My recommendation is to pass on this as it might cause damage. Good luck :-)
