CAUTION
Batteries must not be immersed in water. This presents a risk of
explosion. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only the
surrounding burning material. Fire extinguishers with metal fire
powder (Class D) are more suitable. If it is possible to take the battery
safely outside, smother the fire with sand. But you need not be afraid
of the battery exploding under you when you ride the cycle through
rain. The battery is sealed to prevent moisture and spray water from
entering.
IMPORTANT
Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical impact. This poses a
risk of damage. A battery can still be damaged after a drop or impact
even if there are no visible signs of damage. A battery which looks fine
on the outside should therefore also be subjected to an inspection.
Please contact your cycle dealer.
Perform a 'learning cycle': A new, fully charged battery should be
run down once until the motor assist stops and without recharging in
between. In that way the battery 'learns' its capacity, and the actual
capacity will agree with the level indicated on the battery status
display. As soon as the battery enters Sleep mode, press the battery
button for one second. Then the learn cycle can be continued. Please
perform a learn cycle every six months or 5,000 kilometres. When the
battery becomes older and you do not repeat the cycle from time to
time, the difference between actual battery capacity and charge level
display will become greater and greater.
IMPORTANT
Only use the battery to operate this pedelec, otherwise there is a risk
of damage to the device.
Batteries are subject to the dangerous goods regulations.
Private users are permitted to transport them on the
road without further conditions. When transported by
commercial third parties (such as by air, freight forwarders
and logistics firms), special requirements of packaging
and labelling must be observed. Please contact your cycle
dealer if you have any questions about transportation.
