Technical Data
Battery Sleeping Mode
In its original state and at the first start-up the battery is in sleeping mode. For this reason the battery has to be fully charged before it is used
for the first time.
If the charge level drops below 50% and it is not charged for more than two weeks, it goes into sleeping mode automatically.
The sleeping mode prevents total discharge.
To cancel the sleeping mode, charge the battery on the charging unit for more than 5 sec.
Life Span
The battery can be 100 per cent charged and discharged approximately 500 times. After this, the capacity declines and it is only possible to
achieve a 60% charge, thereby reducing the range of the Pedelec. The battery should then be replaced.
At the end of its life span, the battery should be taken to an official collection point for recycling.
Safety notes
To charge the battery, use only the charging unit supplied by the manufacturer.
Use the battery only for your Pedelec.
If it is used for other types of battery, these may explode.
Do not expose the battery to temperatures over 60° C, e.g. radiators, heaters, direct sunlight etc. Do not leave it inside an overheated car.
Do not expose the battery to water.
Do not try to dismantle or modify the battery.
Do not subject the battery to pressure from heavy objects.
Do not continue to use the battery if it heats up during use, charging or storage, or if it smells or changes its appearance or behaves
differently in any way.
Do not use the battery if the housing is damaged.
Do not dispose of the battery with standard household waste.
Do not allow small children to play with the battery.
