3. Battery

3.1 Safety information

WARNING

Only use your Pedelec with the correct, original battery. Using other

batteries can result in explosions, serious burns and re. Malfunction

and limited service life can also entail.

Only use your Pedelec with the correct, original charger. Using other

chargers can result in explosions, serious burns and re. Malfunction

and limited service life can also entail.

Keep batteries away from sparks and res. Prevent batteries from

heating up too much. They can explode and cause serious burns and

res. Further consequences can include malfunctions and a limited

battery life. Keep batteries away from sources of heat (e.g. direct
sunlight and radiators). When charging the battery, ensure there is
adequate ventilation and observe the permitted ambient temperature
range: 0 - 40 °C. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only

the surrounding burning material. Fire extinguishers with metal re

powder (Class D) are more suitable. If it is possible to take the battery

safely outside, smother the re with sand.

2. Mount the Bone Rail

1. Use the both Bone Rail screws

(DCW = 199117037) to mount
the Bone Rail onto the bracket.
Tighten the M5 screws with
4 - 5 Nm.

for 1. Mount the Bone Rail

EN-6 Additional Guide | T.E.C. PACK for Shimano Steps E8000 Version 1

CAUTION

Batteries must not be immersed in water. This presents a risk of

explosion. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only the

surrounding burning material. Fire extinguishers with metal re

powder (Class D) are more suitable. If it is possible to take the battery

safely outside, smother the re with sand. But you need not be afraid

of the battery exploding under you when you ride the cycle through
rain. The battery is sealed to prevent moisture and spray water from
entering.

IMPORTANT

Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical impact. This poses a

risk of damage. A battery can still be damaged after a drop or impact

even if there are no visible signs of damage. A battery which looks ne

on the outside should therefore also be subjected to an inspection.
Please contact your cycle dealer.

Perform a ‘learning cycle’: A new, fully charged battery should be
run down once until the motor assist stops and without recharging in
between. In that way the battery ‘learns’ its capacity, and the actual
capacity will agree with the level indicated on the battery status
display. As soon as the battery enters Sleep mode, press the battery
button for one second. Then the learn cycle can be continued. Please
perform a learn cycle every six months or 5,000 kilometres. When the
battery becomes older and you do not repeat the cycle from time to

time, the dierence between actual battery capacity and charge level

display will become greater and greater.

WARNING

Batteries must not be destroyed, shredded, taken apart, opened up or
repaired. They can explode and cause serious burns and res. Contact

your cycle dealer for help if you have problems with the battery.

Damaged batteries must not be charged, used or transported.

» They can explode and cause serious burns and res.

» Gases can be released and irritate the airways. Ensure there is a

supply of fresh air and consult a doctor in the event of discomfort.

» Liquid can escape and cause skin irritation. Prevent contact with

it. In the event of accidental contact, wash o the liquid with
water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, ush out with plenty of

water and seek medical help.

Do not send batteries by post. Batteries are dangerous goods that

under certain conditions may explode, causing severe burns and res.

Only trained personnel may prepare and transport batteries. If you
have a complaint about a battery, please always go through your cycle
dealer. Dealers are able to have batteries collected free of chargeunder
hazardous goods regulations.

3.1.2 Range

Various factors determine how far you can go with your battery:

When you go on a long trip it is worth taking a spare battery
or battery charger with you.

Ride prole: You need the most power in the highest ride prole. The range

becomes shorter.

Vary the assist modes you use. If there is a tailwind when
going downhill or on the level, you can still go fast with a
lower assist mode.

Tyre pressure: If the tyre pressure is too low it is harder for the tyres to
rotate. The drive unit needs to provide more assistance and the range
decreases.

Riding style: A low pedalling speed combined with high gears results in
high power consumption.

Change down in good time to maintain constant cadence,
especially when starting.

Your tness level: The tter you are, the less assistance you will need.

IMPORTANT

Only use the battery to operate this pedelec, otherwise there is a risk

of damage to the device.

Batteries are subject to the dangerous goods regulations.
Private users are permitted to transport them on the
road without further conditions. When transported by
commercial third parties (such as by air, freight forwarders

and logistics rms), special requirements of packaging

and labelling must be observed. Please contact your cycle
dealer if you have any questions about transportation.

3.1.1 Storage

1. Store the battery in a dry, not excessively warm room. The battery

should not be exposed to direct sunshine. The recommended storage
temperature range is 18 to 23 °C.

IMPORTANT

The battery should not be stored in a fully charged state. A charge

level of 50–70% is ideal. Since the battery loses charge very slowly,
you should only recharge it when only one or two LEDs come on, but
after six months at the latest.

Total weight: The lower the total weight supported by the bike, the easier
it will be to ride.

Outside temperatures: The lower the outside temperatures (e.g. cold in
winter), the shorter the range.

Route selected: You need to pedal harder when cycling uphill or against
strong head wind. This is registered by the power sensor, which in turn
requires the motor to work harder.
