ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Battery Safety (Continued)
• The drive is not approved for steam cleaning, high-pressure cleaning or cleaning with a water hose.
The contact of the electronics or the drive with water can destroy the units. The individual drive
components can be cleaned with a soft rag and neutral detergents. You may use a moist rag, but not
excessive water. Keep the rechargeable battery dry and do not submerge it. Risk of explosion.
• Make sure your rechargeable battery does not show any damage, i.e. cracks, breakages or
discolorations at the contact points. Do not use a battery with such damage. Bring a damaged battery
to your Pivot dealer at once.
• Make sure your rechargeable battery is in sound condition. Do not open, disassemble or crush the
battery. Risk of explosion!
• Make sure your rechargeable battery is not exposed to mechanical impacts.
• Keep your battery away from fire and heat. Risk of explosion!
• Batteries must not be short-circuited. Therefore store them in a safe storage area and make sure
the battery is not short-circuited accidentally (e.g. with metal or another battery). In addition,
rechargeable batteries must not be stored inappropriately, e.g. in a box or in a drawer where they can
be short-circuited by other conductive materials or where they can short-circuit each other. Do not
deposit any objects in the storage area (e.g. clothes).
• Make sure to use the battery only for the Pivot e-bike for which it is designed.
• Remove the rechargeable battery if you do not use your Pivot e-bike for a long period of time (e.g.
during the winter season). Store the rechargeable battery in a dry room at temperatures between 5
- 20°C (41 - 68°F) . The state of charge should be 50 - 70% of the charging capacity. Check the state
of charge if the rechargeable battery is left unused for more than two months and recharge it in
between, if necessary, to 50%.
• The battery does not come charged and must be charged completely before the first use.
• When removing the charger from the outlet or the port, pull on the plug, not the cord.
• When charging the battery, plug the cord into the wall outlet first, and then into the battery.
• Be sure that the charger is on a flat and stable surface, when charging.
• Do not leave the battery fully depleted for an extended period of time. This will cause the battery to
deteriorate and reduce the battery capacity.
• Keep the rechargeable battery and the charger away from moisture and water during the charging
process to avoid electric shocks and short circuits.
• Keep the charger and battery out of reach of children.
• Do not use a battery or a charger that is defective. If you are in doubt, contact your Pivot dealer.
• If the rechargeable battery or the charger (or parts of it) must be replaced, only use original spare
parts. Contact your Pivot dealer.
• Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of approximately 20°C (68°F). Therefore, before
starting the charging, wait until the temperature of the battery has increased or decreased after a
ride in cold or hot weather.
• Do not dispose of your rechargeable battery in the normal household rubbish! It must be disposed
of according to battery disposal regulations. Therefore, sellers of new rechargeable batteries must
provide collection of old batteries and appropriate disposal. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your Pivot dealer.
• When the battery is fully charged, remove the charger.
• Observe the notes on the respective labels on the rechargeable battery or on the charger.
