- For your safety, read the entire user manual
before using Orbea RS batteries and chargers.
- Contact Orbea or an authorized dealer for
information on installation and adjustments
of products that are not found in the user
manual.
- Always follow the instructions for using
Orbea RS batteries to avoid injury to yourself,
your equipment, and the environment.
7.1. BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS
- Do not leave the battery near heat sources such as
heaters, vehicles, or any dangerous place.
- Do not heat the battery or throw it in the fire.
- Do not deform, modify, disassemble, or apply solder
directly to the battery.
- Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals or any other
terminals with metal objects. Do not carry or store the
battery together with metallic objects such as necklaces
or hairpins. It could result in short circuiting, overheating,
burns, or other injuries.
- Do not puncture or crush the battery.
- If the battery is leaking and liquid comes in contact with
eyes, skin, or clothing, immediately wash the affected
areas with plenty of clean water and seek medical
assistance immediately. Battery fluid can damage your
eyes and skin.
- Do not use the battery if it has any external damage.
- Do not use the battery if it has leaks, discoloration,
deformation, or any other abnormality.
USER' S MAN UAL
- Do not disconnect the battery if the plug is wet.
Otherwise, it may cause electric shock. If there is water in
the plug, dry it well before connecting or disconnecting.
- Do not store the battery in direct sunlight or in places
with excessive heat (such as the interior of a car). Keep it
away from heat and flame. This can cause the battery to
leak.
- Use both hands when handling the product to avoid
danger and injury.
- If an error occurs during discharge or charge, stop using
the battery immediately and refer to the user manual.
If you are not sure, check with Orbea or an authorized
dealer.
- Do not wash your bicycle or battery with pressurized
water or immerse the bicycle or electrical components. All
electrical components are protected against splashes and
rain. However, the use of pressurized water can damage
components and cause short circuits. Do not allow the
battery terminals to get wet. Failure to do so could result
in the battery overheating, exploding, or igniting. Always
remove the Range Extender before washing the bike with
water or any other type of liquid.
- Do not use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners to
clean the battery or charger. Use a dry or slightly damp
cloth.
- Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the battery or charger.
- If the battery explodes, contact the fire department
immediately and carefully remove other batteries from the
area, if possible. Evacuate all persons from the fire area
immediately and use plenty of cold water (minimum 10
times the weight of the battery) to extinguish the fire.
- Respect the temperature ranges for using (discharging),
charging, and storing the bicycle, the internal battery, and
the Range Extender. The use, charge, or storage of the
batteries outside the temperature ranges can affect the
cells and reduce their lifespan and capacity.
R S RANGE EXTENDER
The temperature ranges indicated in this manual reflect
the maximum limits for use, charge, and storage provided
by the cell manufacturer.
In general, the use, charge, and storage of batteries
in temperatures below 0ºC will reduce the capacity
per charge, and doing so continuously can affect the
lifespan of the battery.
7.2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY
STORAGE
- Store batteries in a safe place, out of the reach of babies
and pets.
- If the battery is stored at temperatures outside the
recommended range, it may result in fire or damage to the
battery.
-
Storage temperature range: 0°C~35°C. Avoid large
changes in temperature.
- If you are not going to use the battery for a long period
of time, store it with approximately 70% of the remaining
battery capacity. Charge the battery every 3 months so
that the battery does not drain completely. To avoid cell
deterioration, never let the battery charge level drop below
10%.
- Store the battery or the bicycle with the battery installed
in a cool, dry place (aprox. 0°C~35°C) that is not exposed
to direct sunlight or rain. If the storage temperature is low
or high, the performance of the battery will be reduced
and the capacity per charge could decrease. When not
using the battery for a period of time, be sure to charge it
before use.
- Temperatures above 70ºC can cause leaks and become a
fire hazard.

7.3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING AND

CHARGING THE BATTERY

- Battery operating temperature ranges are detailed below.
Do not use the battery in temperatures outside these
ranges.
- If the battery is used at temperatures outside these
ranges, it could cause fire, injury, or damage to the battery
itself.
- Use (discharge) the battery only within the discharge
temperature range: –10°C~50°C.
- Charge the battery only within the charging temper-
ature range: 0°C~40°C.
- The battery should be charged at room temperature, on
a dry, non-flammable surface, away from any source of
heat, moisture, or flammable materials.
- If the battery has been charged in a low temperature
environment (0°C or less), the available capacity per full
charge will be reduced.
- Avoid discharging the battery by continuously using it
below a 10% charge. Charge levels below 10% can affect
cell life and charge balancing.
- Avoid bumping or dropping the internal battery and the
Range Extender.
- If a blow or impact to the external battery casing shows
damage, do not charge or use the battery. Contact an
authorized dealer for diagnosis.
- Always ensure cable connections are in the correct
orientation. Connecting the cables without observing the
correct orientation can damage the terminals.
- Use only the specific RS charger and follow the specified
charging directions when charging the battery. Failure
to do so may cause the battery to overheat, explode, or
ignite.
