Switching On and Off
Switching the battery pack on is one of the possibilities to start the
eBike system. Read and observe the operating instructions of the
drive unit and the drive HMI.
Before switching on the battery pack or the eBike system, check that
the lock
A6
is locked.
To
switch on
the battery pack, press the On/Off button
A4
. The
LEDs of indicator
A3
light up and at the same time indicate the
charge condition.
Note:
When the battery pack capacity is below 5%, none of the
LEDs of charge-control indicator
A3
will light up. Only the drive HMI
will indicate if the eBike system is switched on.
To
switch off
the battery pack, press the On/Off button
a4
again.
The LEDs of indicator
A3
go out. This also switches off the eBike
system.
When no power output of the eBike drive is requested for approx.
10 minutes (e.g., because the eBike is parked) and no button of
the drive HMI or operating unit is pressed, the eBike system and
thus the battery pack automatically switch off to save energy. The
battery pack is protected against deep discharging, over charging,
overheating and short circuiting through the “Electronic Cell
Protection (ECP)”. In case of hazardous situations, a protective circuit
automatically switches off the battery pack.
When a defect of the battery pack is detected, two LEDs of the
charge-control indicator
A3
flash. In this case, please refer to an
authorised bicycle dealer.
Notes for Optimum
handling of the Battery Pack
The battery pack life can be prolonged when being properly
maintained and especially when being operated and stored at the
right temperatures.
With increasing age, however, the battery pack capacity will
diminish, even when properly maintained.
A significantly reduced operating period after charging indicates that
the battery pack is worn out and must be replaced. You can replace
the battery pack yourself.
Recharging the Battery Pack prior to
and during Storage
When not using the battery pack for a longer period, charge it to
approx. 60% (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge-control indicator
A3
).
Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one LED of
the charge-control indicator
A3
lights up, recharge the battery pack
again approx. 60%.
Note:
When the battery pack is stored discharged (empty) for longer
periods, it can become damaged despite the low self discharging
and the battery pack capacity may be strongly reduced.
It is not recommended to have the battery pack connected
permanently to the charger.
Storage Conditions
Store the battery pack in a dry, well ventilated location. Protect
the battery pack against moisture and water. Under unfavourable
weather conditions, it is recommended e.g. to remove the battery
pack from the eBike and store it in an enclosed location until being
used again.
The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between –10°C and
+60°C. For a long battery pack life, however, storing the battery
pack at a room temperature of approx. 20°C is of advantage.
Take care that the maximal storage temperature is not exceeded. As
an example, do not leave the battery pack in a vehicle in summer
and store it out of direct sunlight.
It is recommended to not store the battery pack on the bike.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep the battery pack clean. Clean the battery pack carefully with a
soft, damp cloth. The battery pack may not be immersed in water or
cleaned with a water jet.
When the battery pack is no longer operative, please refer to an
authorised bicycle dealer.
