Overview
The battery has a high energy content when
charged. You will find codes of practice for their
safe handling in Section 2 Safety and Section 6.9
Rechargeable battery in the operating
instructions.
If the electric drive system is not used for about
10 minutes and no button has been pressed on
the display or the control panel, the electric drive
system and the battery are automatically switched
off to save energy.
The type and duration of operating conditions
have a significant effect on the battery life. Just
like any other lithium-ion battery, the battery will
age naturally if it is not being used. The battery's
service life can be extended if the battery is well
maintained and stored at the correct temperature.
The charging capacity will decrease with age,
even if the battery is maintained properly. If the
operating time is severely shortened after
charging, this is a sign that battery has reached
the end of its useful life.
Battery performance is reduced when the
temperature drops since this increases electrical
resistance. As a result, you can expect the range
to be shorter than normal in winter. We
recommend using thermal protection sleeves
when riding longer distances in the cold.
The pedelec features either an integrated battery,
a pannier rack battery or a frame battery. Each
battery has its own lock.
