7.1 Safety instructions
read and follow all the notes and instructions on handling the battery safely.
Incorrect use of the battery can lead to damage. following these instructions pre-
vents a possible electric shock, injuries and overheating/fires.
1. only use the original charging unit (1) that has been supplied with the battery.
If that instruction is not followed there is a risk of the battery overheating and
becoming damaged.
2. The battery may only be used with the motor and controllers that had been de-
signed for it. Using the battery in connection with other devices can lead to dan-
gerous overloads.
3. only handle the battery when the motor/system of your cUBe pedelec/e-bike
has been switched off.
4. remove the battery of your cUBe pedelec/e-bike (2) before starting any work on
14
it, such as installation or repair work.
5. Prevent the on/off switch of your cUBe pedelec/e-bike from being operated ac-
cidentally. That could entail a risk of injury due to an uncontrolled starting up of
the drive system.
6. Never attempt to repair the battery in any way at all. handling the battery incor-
rectly could result in damage to the internal protective circuitry and lead to a short
circuit. The warranty is immediately and completely null and void if the battery is
opened.

7. Keep any objects that could cause a short circuit (for example, metallic objects
such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, bolts) well away from the contacts
and plugs of the battery.
8. When laying the battery down, ensure that the contacts and plugs (3) cannot
come into contact with metallic surfaces and objects.
9. Protect the battery against sustained heat, excessive direct sunshine, dampness
and moisture, and do not allow it to be dipped into liquids or covered with them.
That would bring a risk of damage and with it a short circuit and overheating of
the battery.
10. Never bring the battery into contact with an open fire, never lay the battery down
on a hot stove, in a microwave oven or an ordinary oven, as there is a risk of
explosion. only charge the battery when it has been placed on a fire-resistant
surface that cannot burn, such as glass or ceramics or leave the battery installed
in your cUBe pedelec while charging.
11. The battery cells that are used are protected against explosion by a predeter-
mined breaking point. however, in extreme cases incorrect handling such as
excessive heat or mechanical damage could lead to the predetermined breaking
point opening up and the battery fluid escaping or vaporising.
12. We recommend that you charge your battery during the day and only in dry
rooms which have a smoke or a fire detector; but keep it off your bedroom. Place
the battery during the charging process on a big non-inflammable plate made of
ceramics or glass (4) or leave the battery installed in your cUBe pedelec while
charging!
Never touch or swallow the battery fluid! If vapours escape from the
g
battery then ensure that there is good ventilation. Escaping battery
fluid or vapours can cause skin irritation. If you accidentally come into
contact with the battery fluid wash it off at once with copious amounts
of water. Contact a doctor at once if there is severe skin irritation, if the
fluid has been swallowed, if the respiratory passages are irritated, or if
the battery fluid gets into the eyes.
