3.7 WARRANTY AND SERVICE LIFE
Normal ageing as well as wear and tear of
the battery do not constitute a material
deficiency. You can find information about
battery warranty in the safety and warranty
booklet included with your bike.
• The age of the battery.
A battery ages while in storage.
Your lithium-ion battery loses approximate-
ly 4 - 5% of its initial capacity a year due to
ageing and charging processes. This means
that even if you do not use your battery, it
will still lose capacity.
Take care to ensure that the battery does
not get too hot. A fully charged battery
ages even more rapidly at high tempera-
tures than a partially charged one.
