voltage. Fluctuating voltage or fluctuating power supply of any kind can damage the
storage cells of the battery.
Checking the battery before using it for the first time
WARNING
• The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure the full capacity of the battery,
please fully charge it before using it for the first time.
Battery care
• Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries don’t last forever. Each time the
battery is discharged and subsequently recharged, its relative capacity decreases by
a few percent. You can maximize the life of your battery by following the instructions
in this guide. The battery should be fully charged immediately upon receipt for the full
recommended charging time
• For a full 100% charge, leave the battery on the charger for a full hour after the
indicator light on the charger turns green.
• Lithium-ion batteries have no “memory”. Partial charge/discharge cycles will not
harm the batteries capacity or performance.
• The nominal output capacity of a battery is measured at 25ºC. Any variation in this
temperature will alter the performance of the battery and shorten its expected life.
High temperatures especially reduce the overall battery life and operating time.
• Always make sure to turn the bike’s ignition switch to “OFF” after each use. If you
leave the power switch in the “ON” position, or your electric bike has not been charged
for an extended period of time, the battery may reach a point where it will no longer
hold a charge.
Electrical and electronic equipment and batteries contain materials, components and
substances that can be harmful to you and your environment, as long as the waste
materials (waste electrical and electronic equipment and batteries) are not managed
correctly.
Electrical and electronic equipment and batteries are marked with the crossed out
bin, as shown below. This symbol means that old electrical and electronic equipment
and batteries should not be thrown away; they must be removed separately.
As the end user, it is necessary for you to deliver the exhausted batteries to the
appropriate collection points. In this way, you ensure that the batteries are recycled in
accordance with the legislation and do not cause any environmental damage.
