Battery & Charging
• The environmental burden is not heavy, electricity
is considered to be a clean form of energy. Your
battery should (just like normal batteries) be
submitted in order to be recycled at the end of the
life cycle (look for a drop-off point in your area).
• The battery pack can, under ideal conditions, be
fully charged and discharged around 1000 - 1500
times. The performance will slowly decline by lots
of use, and eventually the battery pack should be
replaced.
• The performance of the battery will decrease at
low temperatures. The referred range is optimal at
a measured temperature of approxi/-25
°C. The guideline is that the capacity decreases by 1
% at a 1 °C temperature drop.
• Never connect the positive contact point of the
battery to the negative contact point.
• Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (>
50 °C), such as heat and fire.
• Do not take the battery apart. Consult your dealer
by any problems. With long-term storage, place the
battery in a shaded, cool and dry place.
Further information on your battery
• The battery is also equipped with an USB
connection. This allows you to use the battery as an
extra power station for your smartphone, laptop or
tablet, for example. In the middle you can find the
blade fuse of the battery (under the cap), and on
the right the USB connection.
• The battery is sealed and therefore resistant to
rain, so you can use your bike well in bad weather.
However, try not to expose the battery to large
amounts of water.
