2.3 Caution

Do not disassemble the batter y.

The battery contains protective components and will internally short-circuit to avoid danger. Mishandling, such as improper disassembly, may destroy its protective functions and cause it to overheat, smoke, distort or burn.

Do not intentionally short -circuit the battery.

Do not touch or connect the plus and minus contact with metal. Do not allow the battery to come into contact with metal elements in storage or in use. If the battery is short-circuited, its current will be magniﬁed, which will cause damage and make the battery over-heat, smoke, distort or burn.

Do not heat or burn the batter y. Heating or burning the battery will cause the isolated elements in the battery to dissolve, the protective function to stop or the electrode to burn or over-heat, which in turn may cause the battery itself to over-heat, smoke, distort or burn.

Avoid using the battery near a heat source.

Do not use the battery near a ﬁre or stove, or at over 60 °C, as over-heating will cause the battery to internally short-circuit and make it over-heat, smoke, distort or burn.

Avoid cha rging near exposed ﬂames or in d irect sunlight.

Doing so may cause the internal protection function to short-circuit and lead to abnormal chemical reactions or functional faults, which will lead to over-heating, smoking, distortion or burning.

Do not damage the battery.

Do not allow the battery to be gouged, forged or dropped, as this may cause it to over-heat, distort, smoke or burn, and result in danger for the user.

Do not dir ectly weld on the battery.

Any application of heat will cause the isolated elements to dissolve within the battery which will aect its protective function and life cycle, as it will over-heat, distort, smoke or burn.

Do not charge d irectly o the power

socket or a car cigarette lighter.

High voltage and ampliﬁed current will damage the battery and reduce its life cycle, as it will over-heat, distort, smoke or burn.

2.7 Charging the battery

You can charge your battery both while mounted on the Pedelec and removed.

Lithium-ion batteries are not subject to a memory effect. You can recharge your battery at any time, even after short trips.

Charge your battery at temperatures between 0 °C and 45 °C (ideally at room temperature or 20 °C). Give the battery sufﬁcient time before charging to reach this temperature.

Read the instructions on the charger before charging.

1. First insert the plug of the charging cable into the charging socket on the battery, then the plug the charger into a socket.

2. As soon as the charger is connected to the power supply, a red LED will light up.

Charging time depends on various factors. It can vary greatly according to the temperature, age, usage and capacity of the battery. You can ﬁnd indications of possible charging times, if necessary, in the technical data of the battery.

When the battery is fully charged, the charging process is automatically terminated. Unplug the plug from the battery and the power outlet.

Only use the charger designed for the battery.

Make sure you use the correct mains voltage. The required mains voltage is indicated on the charger. It must comply with the voltage of the current source. Chargers marked 230V can also be operated at 220 V.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. There is a risk of electric shock.

• Before use, check that the charger, cable and plug are not damaged. If damage occurs, do not use the charger. There is a risk of electric shock.

• Charge the battery in well-ventilated rooms only.

• Do not cover the charger and/or battery dur- ing charging. There is a risk of over-heating, ﬁre, or explosion.

• Only charge on a dry, non-ﬂammable surface.

The battery has to be recharged completely at least every 3 months, in order to avoid damaging or destroying the cells.

If the charging time exceeds the usual charging times (see table), the battery may be damaged. In this case, immediately stop charging. Have a dealer check the battery and charger to avoid damage.

2.8 Switching the electrical system on and off

Make sure that the pedals of your Pedelec are not weighed down when the system is turned on. Any load on the pedals as it is switched on may lead to power restrictions and error messages. When this happens, switch off the system and turn it on again.

Conditions

In order to activate and use your Pedelec, the following prerequisites must be fulﬁlled:

• A sufﬁciently charged battery must be used.

• The battery must be inserted correctly into the battery holder.

• The motor, control unit, control unit/battery, etc. must all be connected correctly.

You can switch the electrical system of your Pedelec on and off according to the description on the control unit, see section "Control element".

If the battery of your Pedelec is equipped with an on/off switch, you can also press the switch on the battery.

Battery switch On-Off

If you press the switch again, the system will be turned off.

2.9 Storing the battery

If you do not use your Pedelec for an extended period of time, remove the battery, charge it (60-80%) and store it separately in a frost-free, dry room.

• Check the charge level every 3 months and recharge if necessary.

• Store your battery at a temperature between

-10 °C and 35 °C.

• Avoid storing in direct sunlight.

• To prevent deep discharge, the battery will go into sleep mode after a certain time.

• Do not expose the battery to temperatures below the permissible storage temperature of -10 °C to 35 °C. Note that temperatures of around 45 °C are common near heaters, in direct sunlight or in over-heated vehicle interiors.

If you notice the battery becoming hot during use, charging or storage, developing a strong odor, changing appearance, or any other abnormality, do not continue to use the battery. Immediately stop using the battery and have a dealer check it before you use it again.

2.10 Battery wear

The battery can run for approx. 500 charging. During that time, the battery capacity and range of your Pedelec will decrease. You should then replace the battery. If the range is still sufﬁcient, you can continue to use it.

As the service life increases, the capacity of the battery slowly decreases. This also reduces the range of your Pedelec with regard to engine support. This does not constitute a defect.

The battery life depends on various factors:

• The number of charging operations (about 500 charging cycles).

• The age of the battery.

• The storage conditions.

Of course, your battery will deteriorate and capacity will be lost even if you do not use the battery. The lifetime of your battery can be inﬂuenced by the following measures:

• Charging your Battery after every ride, even short trips. Lithium-ion batteries are not subject to a memory effect.

• Avoiding driving in high gears with high levels of push-assistance.

5 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

If parts of your Pedelec are replaced, please take note of the waste disposal instructions for your local waste disposal company. Used batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with normal household waste.

Every consumer is obliged by law to dispose of used batteries at a collection point speciﬁcally for used batteries at a recycling center, battery trading company, specialist dealer or manufacturer.

Batteries containing harmful substances are marked with a symbol consisting of a crossedout waste bin and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) of the heavy metal which is responsible for its classiﬁcation as a pollutant.

For further information, please contact your local waste disposal service or your municipal administration.

Waste batteries, accumulators with lead, NiMH (nickel metal hydride) or lithium-ion technology are considered dangerous goods.

Lithium-ion batteries should be isolated on each pole with insulating tape to prevent shortcircuiting, and potentially dangerous follow-up reactions. When transporting or transferring the batteries to a waste disposal facility, the provisions of the ADR (regulations for the transport of dangerous goods) apply.

According to European Directive 2006/66/EC, defective or used batteries must not be used, and, in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EC, electrical equipment that is no longer usable must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally sound manner.
