Battery and charging
Rules for using charging the battery
WARNING!
Do not open the battery. The battery explosion or electrolyte leakage can
cause injury.
CAUTION!
Charge the battery a minimum one time a month. If less it can cause
malfunction to the battery.
CAUTION!
Do not cause damage to battery components.
CAUTION!
Do not start e-bike with low temperature battery. It can cause damage to the
battery.
CAUTION!
Do not heat the battery with a heater or any device. It can cause damage to
the battery, e-bike, and person.
The battery is protected automatically from overheating, overloading and deep discharge. That
makes it, in practice, very easy and simple to handle. Nevertheless, you should consider some
important things in order to maximize the life and performance of the battery.
Since the lithium-ion battery has no memory effect, you can charge it at any time, even if it is
not completely discharged. In practice, it has been shown that it is even better to charge it after
short distances. Your battery has a lifetime of 3,000 charging cycle. One charging cycle means a
full charge of the battery (0–100% capacity). Partial loads can be done more often.
It is critically important to charge the battery at least once a month. If you fail to do so, it may
cause a battery dysfunction.
The battery can be recharged any time, even after short trips. There is no need to wait until it is
completely discharged, as it has no memory effect.
Protect the battery against mechanical damage and do not drop it. Mechanical damage can
cause overheating and spontaneous ignition of the battery. Charge the battery only at
moderate temperatures (15–25°C / 59–77°F).
In wintertime, do not start charging the battery if the battery is cool. The capacity of a cold
battery is significantly reduced and accordingly with a lower range.
A battery which is exposed a long time to frost should be gently heated by the ambient
temperature of a heated room, before recharging the battery. Avoid charging in direct sunlight
or near heaters.
