Charge!
Plug the charger into the wall and then insert the 3-pin
connector into the charge port on the rear top plate of
your Metroboard. The charger’s LED light will turn red
while charging and the charger’s internal cooling fan may
turn on.
When the light turns green, the board is fully charged.
Also be sure to charge your remote! Plug the micro-USB
cord into the remote and plug the other end into any USB
power source. Always charge your remote when you
charge your board. That way, you don’t have to remember
when the last time you charged your remote was. If you’re
wondering, the remote has enough power for 3 or 4 rides.
But don’t gamble.
When the remote power is very low it will vibrate every
few seconds. When that happens, stop and charge your
remote immediately before you lose connection. In a
pinch you can charge the remote from a pocket power
source while riding, but only do so in an emergency.
Battery Tips
Charge time from a drained battery to full is about 3
hours. Your board is shipped with the battery at ~50%
charge, so you should be ready to ride in about an hour.
60-70% is also the optimal charge level to store your
board if you don’t plan to ride for more than a week.
For care of your battery, let it rest for ~20-30 minutes af-
ter you ride before putting it back on the charger. This will
give the individual cells in the pack a chance to balance
out and help ensure a full charge and a long-lasting bat-
tery. Additionally, leaving the board on the charger for an-
other 15 minutes after the light turns green will also help
ensure all the cells are balanced and at maximum capac-
ity. There is no harm in leaving the board on the charger
for longer, but we don’t recommend leaving it plugged in
all the time.
