Batteries must not be short-circuited. There-
fore store them in a safe storage area and
make sure the battery is not short-circuited
accidentally (e.g. with another battery). In addition,
the rechargeable battery must not be stored inappro-
priately, e.g. in a box or in a drawer where they can be
short-circuited by other conductive materials or where
they can short-circuit each other. Do not deposit any
objects in the storage area (e.g. clothes).

battery completely (also referred to as depth
discharge). This occurs often when the bat-
tery has run out completely and the MERIDA pedelec
was left standing for some days. Depth discharge
will affect the rechargeable battery of your MERIDA
pedelec permanently. A deep-discharged battery can
only be recharged in exceptional cases and with special
chargers. Contact your MERIDA dealer.

If the rechargeable battery or the charger (or
parts of it) must be replaced, only use original
spare parts. Contact your MERIDA dealer, if
necessary.

ture of approx. 20 degrees Celsius. Therefore,
before starting the charging, wait until the

be disposed of according to battery dispos-
al regulations. Therefore, sellers of new rechargeable
batteries must provide collection of old batteries and
appropriate disposal. If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
s
Remove the rechargeable battery from your
MERIDA pedelec or MERIDA e-bike, if you
do not use your MERIDA pedelec for a longer
period of time and keep it clean and dry.
