IMPORTANT!
If you leave the battery in the OFF AND REMOVE KEY WITH DETACH-
ING LOCK position (OFF), you won't be able to remove it.
Connecting the battery:
To connect the HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID battery, simply turn the key
to the ON position and use your HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID normally.
(See fig. 17)
The battery charging system is protected by the smart battery man-
agement system (BMS), which cuts power if there is a surge or if any of
the battery cells are too discharged.
CAREFUL!
Never, under any circumstances, use the discharging port on the bat-
tery to charge it or power it in any way, whether with an external pow-
er source or regenerative brake system.
Charging the battery:
• The HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID battery is charged with the 3-pin XLR
port on the side of the battery.
(See fig. 30)
• Only charge the battery with the original BATEC MOBILITY charger
provided with your HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID.
CAREFUL!
Never, under any circumstances, use chargers from other manufactur-
ers or a charger from another HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID, as the specifi-
cations for each HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID series are different.

• Recharge time for the BATEC MOBILITY battery is 3 hours. Both the
charger and the battery management system cut the power when
the battery is fully charged.
• Charging the battery: To charge the battery, the key must be in the
OFF or OPEN position. You can charge the battery whether or not it
is attached to the HANDBIKE BATEC HIBRID. Turn the cover of the
charging port, plug the charger first into the port and then into a
socket, then turn the charger on.
Storing the battery
Lithium ion batteries have a smart battery management system (BMS)
that uses a small amount of power to monitor the battery at all times.
The amount used is very small but if you store the battery fully dis-
charged, in just a few weeks the BMS can run out of power.
If this happens, the battery can never be used again. As a result, we
strongly recommend you follow these instructions carefully:
CAREFUL!
• Charge the battery fully before storing it.
• Always store the battery with the key in the OFF position.
• Charge the battery fully at least every 2 months.
• If the battery doesn't work after being stored for a period of time, for
your safety it must be disposed of. .
4.8.2. BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
It is widely known 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.
