SAFETY ADVICE
Use the battery and equipment only if in
proper condition.
Never use a damaged or broken battery.
Only use the battery that is approved for your
e-bike.
Use the battery only in connection with the
intended e-bike system to protect the battery
from dangerous overload.
Charge the battery before use.
Only connect compatible chargers to the
charging port of the e-bike.
Keep the battery and its contacts clean and
dry. Clean contacts with a dry brush if they are
dirty.
Do not clean the battery with solvents (i.
e.
dilution, alcohol, oil, anti-corrosives),
detergents, or running water.
Persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of
experience and knowledge may not use the
battery, unless they are supervised and
instructed by a person responsible for their
safety.
Do not expose the battery to strong
mechanical impacts.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Do not open or dismantle the battery.
Do not short circuit the battery.
Do not modify or manipulate the battery, its
contacts or the charging port of the e-bike.
Do not cover or remove the burst protection
and pressure equalization membrane.
Observe ambient conditions.
Do not expose the battery to drastic
temperature changes.
Protect the battery from temperatures above
80
°C, direct sunlight, and fire. Excessive heat
may result in battery leakage and damage to
the housing. Avoid contact with the liquid.
Wipe up leaked electrolyte with an absorbent
cloth. In case of major leakage wear protective
clothing, gas mask against organic gases,
safety goggles and protective gloves.
Do not immerse the battery in any liquid. Do
not clean with high-pressure cleaner.
Do not use the battery if contacts or cables are
damaged.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
2.2.1
FIRST AID MEASURES
Mechanical, thermal or electrical abuse may cause
chemicals and toxic gases to escape.
AFTER INHALATION
Leaked gases can cause respiratory irritation.
Provide fresh air and call a doctor.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
Leaked chemicals can cause skin irritation. Wash
skin with soap and water.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
Leaked chemicals can cause eye irritation.
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for
15 minutes and seek medical attention.
AFTER INGESTION
Do not give anything by mouth if the victim is
unconscious or having convulsions. Rinse mouth
thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting. At
spontaneous vomiting bring victim in lean-forward
position in order to minimize risk of suffocation.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water again. Seek
medical attention without delay.
2.2.2
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
WARNING
Extreme mechanical or electrical stress can
cause the battery to heat up and burst with
force. Water can react with released lithium
hexafluorophosphate to form highly toxic
hydrogen fluoride gas.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus
and appropriate protective suit..
EXTINGUISING AGENTS
Fires of lithium-ion batteries can generally be
fought with water. No additional or special
extinguishing agents are required. Ambient fires
should be fought with conventional extinguishing
agents. The fire of a battery cannot be considered
separately from the surrounding fire.
The cooling effect of water effectively prevents the
spread of fire to battery cells that have not yet
reached the critical temperature for ignition
(thermal runaway).
The resulting fire gases can cause damage to
health.
