Handling the battery
• When you carry a power-assisted bicycle in a car, remove
the battery from the bicycle and place the bicycle on a
stable surface in the car.
• Before connecting the battery, make sure that there is no
water collecting in the area where the battery will be
connected (connector), and that it is not dirty.
• The use of a SHIMANO genuine battery is recommended.
If using a battery from another manufacturer, make sure
to carefully read the manual thoroughly before use.
