Jeff,
The trike comes with a smart charger which shuts down when the battery reaches the correct level.
Genuine Electric Trike Bike Charger
“When purchasing any battery charger, it is critical that you are buying the correct charger for the model and brand of battery on your e-mobility device.
Use of the Trike Bike chargers on other brands or incorrect models can be extremely dangerous, and may cause fire, explosion, serious injury or even death.
Using a third-party charger on your Trike Bike can be extremely dangerous, and may cause fire, explosion, serious injury or even death.
Don’t ever mix chargers and a battery of different types, just because the plugs look the same doesn’t mean the charger output or voltage is correct.”
It would appear that a lot of the battery fires occurring in scooters and the like are caused by people using inappropriate chargers i.e. buying a faster charger online to reduce charging times.
When overcharged, lithium ion batteries may overheat, explode and cause fires. Even slight overcharging reduces a cell's discharge capacity, leading to over discharging, which increases impedance and heat generation, and decreases cell lifetime.
