4.9.2. BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

It is idely no n that lithium ion batteries can be dangerous, and for
good reason. Batteries used in vehicles, like those in the Batecs, have
enough stored energy and potentially dangerous material to cause a
significant incident if not used properly or in the case of negligence.
BATEC MOBILITY ONLY USES LITHIUM BATTERY TECHNOLOGY IT CONSID-
ERS STABLE AND SAFE.
All BATEC MOBILITY batteries use safety systems, including the smart bat-
tery management system (BMS), hich monitors the battery at all times.
In addition to all of the built in safety systems, to minimise the danger
if a problem ere to arise ith elements outside the battery, such as
improper functioning of the electrical installations or problems
the general po er grid, e strongly recommend you follo these in-
structions carefully:
CAREFUL
• Only charge the battery under supervision.
• Don't charge the battery while using your BATEC ELECTRIC HAND-
BIKE: Danger of electrocution and accidents.
• Don't charge the battery while asleep at night.
• Charge the battery ell a ay from any flammable objects.
• Never use the discharging port to charge the battery and vice versa,
never use the charging port to discharge it.
• Only use the BATEC MOBILITY charger provided ith your HANDBIKE
BATEC ELECTRIC to charge the battery.
• Never charge the battery near a heat source.
• Never charge the battery in temperatures belo 0 C.
– 34 –
• Always store the battery fully charged.
• Don t allo the inside of the battery to be manipulated in any ay, as
there is a ris of explosion and/or fire.
4.9.3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE BATTERY
Using t e battery in cold conditions
The performance of lithium batteries is limited, both in terms of po er
and battery life, in lo temperatures (belo 0 C). It isn t a dangerous
situation but it is bothersome, so e recommend storing the battery
inside under these circumstances. Never charge the battery in tem-
ith
peratures below 0ºC.
Using t e battery in damp conditions
The casing of the BATEC MOBILITY battery provides good protec-
tion against rain and dampness for the cells and circuits inside.
This protection is enough for the battery to withstand these con-
ditions occasionally but regular, prolonged exposure to damp and
rainy conditions may cause the battery to stop
Thus, e recommend you avoid these circumstances and use the
HANDBIKE BATEC ELECTRIC as little as possible in rainy or snowy
conditions.
Battery life
The life of the battery is between 200 and 500 charging cycles, and
bet een 1 and
perature, frequency of use, consistency of use and other individual
issues (user eight, driving style, terrain, etc.).
To get the most out of your battery e recommend you:
years, depending on several factors, including tem-
– 35 –
or ing properly.
