Handling and Charging the Battery
WARNING
BionX batteries shall only be recharged with BionX chargers or BionX power supplies.
Never short circuit the battery by connecting the contacts of the battery. Never open the
battery. This could damage the battery and possibly lead to overheating or ignition of the
battery. The battery cannot be serviced by the user. Opening the battery case voids all
warranty and product liability claims. Never use a battery which has obvious damage
to the housing or the connector.
Make sure that the battery is no longer connected to the power supply once the charging operation is
complete. The Lithium Manganese battery cells have a low self-discharge rate, therefore a continuous
connection of the battery to the power supply is not necessary. We recommend that you fully charge the
battery when it will not be used for a longer period of time, for example, before storing it for the winter,
and then recharge the battery at minimum every three months.
It is best to store the battery in a cool location at temperatures between 10 °C and 25 °C. Never store the
battery in locations where the temperatures can reach more than 45 °C or fall below -10 °C. The battery
should never be exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations or humidity, and always protect the battery
during storage from humidity to prevent corrosion on the connectors. Never drop the battery, and protect
it from physical damage. Damage may lead to short-circuits, and as a result cause overheating or ignition
of the battery.
Used batteries may not be disposed of in regular household trash!
Be aware that used batteries must be disposed of properly!
DERBY BionX batteries can be returned at DERBY dealerships free of charge.
Charging the battery:
WARNING
Only use the BionX power supply that was supplied with the bicycle to charge the battery.
The use of other power supplies can damage the battery.
The BionX power supply should be used exclusively for rechargeable batteries of the
specified type. The use of the BionX power supply with batteries that are not rechargable
may damage those and could lead to overheating, or ignition of the battery. Keep the
power supply away from water or moisture when charging and/or connected to prevent
electrical shock or short-circuits.
Do not use a power supply that has obvious signs of damage to the cable, housing or
the connector.
