the battery gives a higher cranking power.
▪Cell voltage:
Red : ≤3,10V
Yellow : 3,18V - 3,10V
Blue : 3,26V - 3,18 V
Green : ≥3.26V
Normally all cells must have +/- the same voltage. At the end of life, it can happen that one cell has lower voltage. This can indicate that the
battery is nearly at the end of its life.
• Swipe to the right to see the technical specications and basic info of your battery. There is also the sleep mode button for the Bluetooth function (see
further).
• Swipe to the left to get an overview of your alarm codes.
• The following notications can come up on phone’s screen:
▪Over-charge alarm: the charging voltage is over 15,6V. Your battery continues to supply power but will stop charging. As soon as the charging
voltage is lower than 15,6V, the battery will automatically take charge again. The battery stops charging to save your battery as the cells are
irreparably damaged with a charging voltage over 15,6V. This alarm can occur when the regulator of your engine gives more than 15,6V. The
battery has detected a peak voltage and gives you a warning. Depending on the engine rpm, the regulator voltage changes. Best is to have
your motorcycle charging system checked. Be aware when you continue to drive without charging the battery, your vehicle will drain your battery
until its completely empty. Riding at low rpm can be a temporary solution. You will get a low voltage alarm at 9,6V. It is recommended not to
drain your battery under 9.6V.
This over-charge alarm can occur also when charging your battery with a non-adapted external charger giving more than 15,6V.
▪Low voltage alarm: Your battery voltage is lower than 9,6V. Stop using the battery and charge your battery immediately.
▪ This can happen when parasite consumers like alarm systems drain your battery.
▪ When something is wrong with your battery charging system.
▪ Your battery is not charged in time after a long time of not using your vehicle.
▪Over temperature alarm: The inner battery temperature is over 60°C. Your battery continues to give power, but will stop charging. Cool down
the battery and your battery will recharge automatically as soon as the inside battery temperature is below 60° C. Extremely hot weather
condition, the positioning of the battery close to a heat source (engine or exhaust) can inuence this inside temperature. Riding wind will cool
down the battery or put your vehicle in the shadow when parking.
• Your battery is equipped with a Bluetooth sleep mode. Because the Bluetooth consumes power (0,7 mA) it will drain your battery. The time to drain your
battery depends on the capacity of your Shido battery. Only the Bluetooth has a sleep mode, your battery always supply power and is never in sleep
mode. There are 3 ways to activate the Bluetooth sleep mode:
▪ Manually by pressing the ON/OFF button of your battery for 3 seconds. You will see 1 red led ashing.
▪ Go to the basic information screen on your phone and press Bluetooth Sleep Mode.
▪ Automatically when the Bluetooth connection is not used for 15 days.
There are 3 ways to reactivate the Bluetooth connection:
▪ Manually by pressing the ON/OFF button of your battery for 3 seconds. You will see 3 green leds ashing.
▪ Charge the battery with an external charger and the sleep mode will switch off automatically.
▪ Charging the battery by starting the engine will reactivate the Bluetooth function automatically.
• General menu in the app:
▪Device: These are the batteries connected with your smart phone (maximum 7 Shido Connect batteries). Swipe to the left on a selected
bat tery and you can choose Edit or Delete. Press Edit and make your choice for the vehicle type with the arrows and ll in the name you want
to give to your battery. Press Delete if you want to disconnect this battery from your phone.

CHARGING
• Always use a smart, Lithium specic battery charger to charge the battery. We recommend the SHIDO DC3 Lithium charger.
• To prevent damage to the battery, the charging voltage should NEVER be higher than 15,0 V.
• Do NOT charge the battery with a charger with automatic DESULFATION MODE using higher voltage than 15 ,0 V.
• Always remove the battery from the vehicle before connecting it to the charger.
• It is preferable to charge the battery with the STD charging current found in the SHIDO catalogue.
• Charging current should never exceed the MAX charging current found in the BATTERY DATA chart in the SHIDO catalogue.
• If the battery seems hot when touching, stop charging. Allow battery to cool down before resuming.
•
After charging, allow the battery to rest for 1 hour before pressing the TEST button (ON/OFF button for Shido Connect) on the BATTERY CAPACITY
INDICATOR. If the indicator indicates LOW (1 blue LED illuminated) or MED (2 blue LEDs illuminated), the battery needs additional charging. At one
blue LED the battery has less than 12,8V and at 2 blue LEDS the battery is between 12,8V and 13V and needs to be charged. At 3 illuminated LEDS
the battery is ready for use.
•
Inside you motorcycle your Shido Lithium battery will charge rather quickly through the alternator. After a short run your battery is fully charged again.
