Bikes: 27 speed ORYX with over 39,000Kms on it and another 14,000KMs with a BionX E-Assist on it

I agree that they should have a bit more info on how to keep the battery safe. I probably would have just kept it in the shed all winter on the bike, if I wouldn't have been on here and read about some of the problems with the battery running down ALL BY IT'S SELF, because of it's self testing and computer still on when the bike is not on... I had to re-charge the battery 2X so far this winter and I haven't ridden the bike since November...

EDIT; OK, I re-read the owners manual, and it does say, re-charge the battery at a minimum of every 3 months when storing for the winter... It's in BOLD LETTERS but, I think it should be in BIG BOLD LETTERS as it's very important... JMO $ 900 per battery is a big ouch if you F' up and treat it as a "normal" battery...
