voids any and all warranty.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g.,
also against continuous intense sun-
light), fi re amd immersing into water. Danger
of explosion.
Keep the battery not being used away from pa-
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery-pack
terminals together may cause burns or a fi re.

ly seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause skin irritations or burns.
Vapours can escape in case of dam-
age and improper use of the battery.
Provide for fresh air and seek medical
attention in case of complains. The vapours
can irritate the respiratory system.
Charging process
Some models allow you to charge the battery
while it is mounted in the Pedelec. Read the at-
tached component manufacturer’s operating in-
structions for this purpose. You can also remove
the battery from its holder and charge it at an-
other location. This is particularly recommended
under cold conditions, so that the battery can be
charged in a warmer environment. This facilitates
shorter charging times.
Note that condensed water may ac-
cumulate on the battery after a sud-
den temperature change form cold to
warm. Prevent this by storing the battery in the
place where you charge it. Only use the char-
ger provided or a charger released by us to
prevent the risk of fi re.
The battery should be charged at an ambient
temperature between 10
o
C and 30
o
C to reach its
maximum service life.
Removing the battery
1. Put the key into the lock and open it to release
the battery.
2. Take the battery out of its holder, depending
on where it is located on your Pedelec. The
battery is heavy, so please be sure to grip it
fi rmly.
3. Pull out the key and keep it safe to prevent it
from breaking off or getting lost.
