Battery & Charger Maintenance - Sharp Fd03Eb Bedienungsanleitung

d. Open the lock lever lock on the handlebar stem.
e. Fold down the stem.
f. Fold the handlebars and frame in a way that is convenient to carry.
Battery removal:
a. Fold the frame.
b. Use the supplied key to unlock the battery.
c. Pull out the battery (be careful that the metal terminals do not touch
the battery case).
To assemble the bicycle, follow the steps in reverse order.
ATTENTION!
When assembling or folding the folding bike, the manual folding of the control
cable and/or top cable may be crushed. Make sure this doesn't happen.
Always keep your fi ngers, hands and arms away from the mounting area when
folding the frame, stem.
After folding, make sure all locks are properly closed.
Battery & Charger maintenance
LITHIUM BATTERY
At the end of each use of the bicycle or if the battery is fl at, recharge the
battery.
After prolonged use the battery capacity will slowly decrease.
The average life of the battery depends on personal use and storage
conditions. Even with proper maintenance, rechargeable batteries are
not eternal. On average, a lithium battery remains active for about 500
charging cycles. It should be considered, however, that with each recharge
the "capacity" of the battery drops proportionally. Even partial recharges
(for example 1H recharge) are to be considered, for the purpose of the
number of possible cycles, as a complete recharge. Periodically fully
discharge the battery and recharge it.
If the bicycle is not used for a long period, keep the battery recharged at
least once every two months, leaving it to charge for about 4 hours. In this
case, do not pay attention to the battery charger lights.
When the battery is completely discharged it must be immediately
recharged. Do not leave the battery discharged unused but immediately
proceed with a recharge cycle. In this case, provide for a longer charging
cycle, of about 6 hours to allow complete activation of the battery.
It is recommended to use the bicycle once or twice a year until the battery
is completely discharged. Then fully charge it. This process has a benefi cial
eff ect on battery life.
Battery capacity on the display
When you turn on the bicycle engine and start pedalling, the battery icon
on the display indicates the instantaneous charge measured and not the
actual charge availability.
In case of uphill routes, when the engine is more stressed, the indicator
may show a reduced residual charge (the number of LEDs lit on the
display decreases). When the motor is stopped, in case of stop or advance
by inertia (for example downhill) the indicator may show a higher
available charge (in the absence of load on the engine the battery voltage
increases).
The best time, therefore, to achieve the amount of residual charge is when
reaching a constant speed and on a fl at and straight path after stabilizing
the work of the battery.
Battery charging
Recharge the battery without removing it from the frame.
At the end of each use of the bicycle, we do consider it worthwhile to
always recharge the battery. Keeping the battery charged at all times
extends its life.
It is compulsory to use the battery charger supplied and follow the
instructions on it. Do not use battery chargers not approved by SHARP.
They may damage the battery and limit its life. By using personal
accessories, not supplied with the bicycle, the legal guarantee will
automatically expire.
Before charging the battery, carefully read the following instructions and
follow them during the process.
• Use only the supplied battery charger.
• Keep both the battery charger and the battery away from children and
pets
• The charging operation must be carried out in a spacious, cool and dry
place; away from direct heat sources and humidity.
• If the charging operation takes place with the battery housed in the
bicycle, make sure that it is stable on the stand and turned off .
• It is normal for the battery charger to heat up during charging.
• Do not cover the battery charger.
• Keep the plugs always clean and dry.
• Do not get the battery charger wet.
• Do not use the battery charger and/or the battery if they are damaged.
• Always connect the battery charger to the battery fi rst and then to the
power socket.
• Do not carry out the charging process in direct sunlight.
• Do not use the battery charger for other purposes or for other devices.
• Voltage dips during charging cycles may damage the battery.
• Voltage drops during charging cycles could damage the battery.
Do not leave the battery connected to the charger, for more than 8 hours.
If the temperature of the battery rises too high, an unpleasant smell will be
felt: stop charging immediately and contact the Service Centre.
