Handling the Battery
The battery contains large amounts of electrical power. You must use caution and respect
when handling it. Not following these instructions can result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Follow these instructions closely. Use care when handling your battery.
•
Always lift the battery and carry it with care. Never drop the battery. If the case is
damaged, the contents may leak out.
•
Never puncture or open the battery case. The contents are dangerous and may
cause injury. Do not touch the contents of a leaking battery. Seek help immediately.
•
Do not touch the two metal poles on the battery box at the same time. This can cause
a short-circuit. It could injure you or others and cause serious damage to the
electrical systems in the e-bike. Your battery contains significant amounts of electrical
power.
•
Do not handle your battery if either you or the battery are wet. Water is an excellent
conductor of electricity. You may experience an electrical shock, and you may be
injured.
Replacement and Disposal
After approximately 300 charges, a lead-acid battery will need to be replaced. A lithium-ion
battery will last approximately 1500 charges. When the battery has to be replaced, you will
notice that your battery cannot carry as much of a charge as it could initially.
Contact your local Daymak dealer to purchase a new battery.
When replacing your battery, dispose of it at a proper municipal battery recycling facility. If
none is available, please contact your local Daymak dealer.
Warning
Be absolutely sure that you replace the battery with an identical or
very similar battery. While it is possible to change the battery format or
power levels, this requires advanced knowledge of electrical systems.
If improperly done, this can result in immediate and irreparable
damage to the electronic controller and electrical systems. Be
absolutely certain of what you are doing before you replace the
battery with a different type of battery.
Using the wrong type of battery will also void your warranty.
