Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery Pack
The battery-pack life can be prolonged when being properly
maintained and especially when being operated and stored at
the right temperatures.
With increasing age, however, the battery-pack capacity will
diminish, even when properly maintained.
A significantly reduced operating period after charging indi-
cates that the battery pack is worn out and must be replaced.
You can replace the battery pack yourself.
Recharging the Battery Pack prior to and during Storage
When not using the battery pack for a longer period, charge it to
approx. 60 % (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge-control indicator 3).
Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one
LED of the charge-control indicator 3 lights up, recharge the
battery pack again approx. 60 %.
Note: When the battery pack is stored discharged (empty) for
longer periods, it can become damaged despite the low self-
discharging feature and the battery-pack capacity may be
strongly reduced.
It is not recommended to have the battery pack connected
permanently to the charger.
Storage Conditions
Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated location. Pro-
tect the battery pack against moisture and water. Under unfa-
vourable weather conditions, it is recommended e.g. to re-
move the battery pack from the eBike and store it in an
enclosed location until being used again.
The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between
–10 °C and +60 °C. For a long battery-pack life, however,
storing the battery pack at a room temperature of approx.
20 °C is of advantage.
Take care that the maximal storage temperature is not ex-
ceeded. As an example, do not leave the battery pack in a ve-
hicle in summer and store it out of direct sunlight.
It is recommended to not store the battery pack on the bike.

Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undamaged.
