Maximize the Catalina Battery Life

  • Only charge your Ristretto bike using the charger and adapter provided by us. Using a generic charger can overcharge the battery which will damage it over time.
  • After riding, we recommend not to plug your battery in to charge right away. Instead, allow the battery to cool before charging it. 
  • Give the battery a few minutes between unplugging it from the charger and riding it. Riding your Ristretto right on it after it was charging can cause damage within time. 
  • Try not to drain the battery to 0% while riding it. Instead, drain it somewhere in the 10%-20% range before charging it up to 100% for maximum battery power. 
  • Avoid leaving your battery completely dead for an extended period. If you aren’t riding your Ristretto for an extended period, allow a slight charge to the battery before letting it sit.
