You can view the available voltage of the battery at any given moment by using its display, or by using bicycle’s display which located in the handlebar.
The battery must not be perforated, and / or placed near fire or another heat dispersing element, and / or soaked in water, and / or crushed, and / or disassembled, and / or be used not for its intended purpose, and / or placed at the vicinity of strong electromagnetic or electrostatic fields.
All effort should be made to avoid dropping the battery.
The battery and the charger should be kept away from reach of small children.
The capacity rating of the battery was measured at a temperature of 77°F. Any change in this temperature brings about alterations to the capacity of the battery and shortens its life expectancy, especially as the temperature is higher, the life expectancy of the battery is lower, and consequently the electrical riding range decreases !

SEVERE WARNING!!
Storing battery in extreme hot/cold temperature must be !
avoided. As this will bring about a decrease in battery quality.! Extremely low temperature may cause corrosion and ! shortening of the battery lifespan.! Extremely high temperature may cause battery inflation and !
making it dangerous, and in most extreme cases cause ! battery explosion!!
Recommended storage temperature for the battery is between !
32°F - 72°F!
WARNING! Avoid exposing the battery to extreme !
temperatures (104°F or higher) for prolonged period!
Page 19
! ! ! ! ! ! !
Dismounting / mounting of battery from the bicycle:
The battery switch has three modes:
(1) "A mode in which the battery is shut off and unlocked from
the frame (in this mode the battery can be dismounted).
(2) "A mode in which the battery is shut off and locked onto
the frame (in this mode the electric system is off and the battery is locked onto the frame).
(3) "A mode in which the battery is turned on and locked onto
the frame (electric system is on and the bicycle is ready for e-riding). !
!
!
!
