5.3 Suitable Charging Environments

For safe and efficient charging, use the battery charger in a place that:
A) Is flat and stable (as it is on the bicycle).
B) Is out of direct sunlight.
C) Is not accessible to children or pets.

5.4 Unsuitable Charging and Discharging Environments and Solutions

The hot and cold environments described below may lead to charging entering stand by or sleep mode without
fully charging the battery.
• Winter discharging stand by mode or DUT (Discharge Under Temperature)
Battery discharging will enter stand by mode if the temperature is below -20 °C, stopping the pedal
assistance system from working and protecting the battery.
In such cases, stand by mode will automatically be disabled when the battery exceeds -20 °C.
• Winter charging stand by mode or CUT (Charge Under Temperature)
Battery charging will enter stand by mode if the temperature is below 0 °C. If charging starts and the
temperature falls below this level due to night cooling or other factors, charging will be stopped and
stand by mode will be activated to protect the battery.
In such cases, stand by mode will automatically be disabled when the battery exceeds 0 °C.
• Noise on televisions/radios/computers
Charging near to televisions, radios or similar devices may cause static, flickering images and other
interference.
If this happens, recharge somewhere that is away from the television or radio (e.g. in another
room).

5.5 Battery Charging Process

Due to its advanced lithium-ion technology, there is no need to wait for the battery to completely discharge before
connecting it to the charger. Likewise, it is also not necessary to charge it to 100% before using it again. But bear
in mind that, in order to achieve a maximum operating range, a full charge is recommended.
WARNING
Turn off the pedal assistance system before removing the battery from
the bicycle.
