Rechargeable battery
A new, fully charged battery allows you to ride
approx. 1,000 to 2,000 km. If the battery is charged
to around 25 %, then this will be enough for around
250 kilometers.
Rechargeable batteries
(a)
have no memory effect.
The battery can therefore be recharged without hav-
ing run completely empty.
If the battery is dying, the front derailleur is the first
to stop working. In this state you can still ride a few
kilometers and change gears with the rear derailleur.
The battery should, however, be recharged as soon
as possible. When the rechargeable battery is empty,
the rear derailleur remains in the last chosen gear.
Shifting into another gear is no longer possible
(b)
!
You can check the battery’s state of charge at any
time. To do so, press one of the control buttons
(c)
and keep it in this position for half a second at least.
The LED on the control unit indicates the state of
charge:
– green light is on for about 2 seconds: state of
charge of the battery 100 %
– green light blinks 5 times: state of the charge of
the battery approx. 50 %
– red light is on for about 2 seconds: state of
charge of the battery approx. 25 %
– red light blinks 5 times: state of charge of the bat-
tery empty
The capacity of the battery
(d)
and thus the range will
decrease gradually. This is unavoidable. You must
replace the battery if the distance that you can ride is
no longer sufficient for your requirements.
G
Only use the supplied charger to charge
the battery!

If the rechargeable battery is not used
for a longer period of time, it should nei-
ther be empty nor full. Keep the nearly
charged battery (50
% to 60
%) in a dry, cool
place and out of the reach of children. After three
months at the latest you should check the state
of charge. Protect the contact areas of your re-
chargeable battery with the protective covers be-
fore storing the battery.

Charging of a (fully discharged) battery
takes around one and a half hours.
