VI. Battery life
VII. Battery maintenance
To ensure maximum battery life and protect against damage, please follow the following usage and care
instructions:
When you notice that the charge drops to 10%, the battery needs to be recharged quickly.
RECOMMENDATION: If the bicycle is not used frequently over a period of time, you
must fully charge every month. The battery case must be stored in a dry, protected
place at a temperature between 5 and 35°C.
Only use the battery for this bicycle.
Use only the specific charger supplied to charge the battery.
Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
Do not expose the battery to heat or charge it in direct sunlight.
Do not disassemble or modify the case and the battery that is built into the
case.
Do not connect the (+) and (-) connections of the battery with a metal
object.
Do not expose the battery to liquids.
Do not use a damaged battery.
Do not continue charging the battery if the charge is not complete after the
theoretical charging time.
Do not use the battery if it is giving off an unusual smell, is unusually hot, or
something is wrong.
Do not leave the battery within the reach of children.
Recharge your battery before it goes into storage for a long time and
perform the same operation after coming out of storage.
Batteries can suffer from ageing in their performance after a large number
of charges. This will depend on the usage patterns of the power-assisted
bicycle.
You must dispose of your used batteries at your local store or a specialised
recycling depot. Above all, do not dispose of your finished battery into the
environment.
