1.4. Safe Charging Process

The X20 System includes a Smart Charger that
establishes a direct connection with the MAHLE X20
internal and external batteries, supplying the correct
charging current and the ideal balancing of the cells.
Please only use MAHLE X20 original chargers for
charging the MAHLE X20 Range Extenders or internal
batteries and ensure the battery and charger are
compatible. Charger and batteries are fully qualified for
being used under the current regulations of the regions
that X20 is approved to be used in.
• Connect the charger directly to a power source.
• Never use extension cords.
• Avoid reverse charging.
• Do not use for non-rechargeable batteries, as they
can overheat and break.
• The Active Charger is not intended to charge
automobile batteries.
• Inspect the Active Charger before every use for
possible damage of the charger, the wire or and
charging plug. Do not cover the charger while
charging.
• Regularly inspect the battery. Never charge a battery
which is potentially damaged or does have a defect.
• Make sure the charging socket and plug are not wet
or humid before connecting and charging the battery.
• If the eBike or the battery are excessively cold,
please wait until the warmed up before charging the
system.
• Do not incinerate, disassemble or short circuit
batteries.
WARNING
Explosive gases. Prevent flames and sparks. Ensure that
there is adequate ventilation during charging. Charger is
designed for indoor use only. Misused other types of
batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
Do not incinerate, disassemble, or short circuit batteries
or the charger.

1.5. Servicing

Servicing, replacement and repair may only be performed
by official MAHLE Service Partners. In the event of repair,
the MAHLE Service must authorize the process. Please
remember that our components may contain cells (i.e.,
internal batteries) that can be damaged, or a short circuit
could be created by drilling into the frame, which could
result in a fire.
The capacity of a battery will degenerate over time.
During normal use of 2 years or after 500 full charging
cycles, the battery can degrade to around 70% of its
initial capacity. To obtain 100% capacity again, the
battery must be replaced. Waterproofness and integrity of
the battery cannot be guaranteed once the battery has
been opened.

1.6. Recycling

It is our responsibility to ensure the correct recycling of
the battery. Together, we are responsible for minimizing
the CO2 footprint and environmental impact. Please
ensure the correct recycling of the battery when reaching
the end of its lifespan. Get in touch with your dealer or
eBike manufacturer to ensure the correct recycling
process. If the battery needs a replacement, please bear
in mind that only official MAHLE service partners are
allowed to replace the internal battery. They can also
handle the recycling of your old battery.
According to the European Guideline 2012/19/EU,
