•
Do not use a battery that shows any
signs of damage, or is leaking any
fluids. Battery liquid can cause skin
irritation, burns and respiratory tract
issues. In the event of damage that
results in skin or eye contact with
any liquid from the battery, immedi-
ately flush with water and seek medi-
cal assistance.
•
Turn off the battery and remove it
before performing work of any kind,
such as installation, maintenance,
cleaning and/or repair. Touching the
contacts when the e-bike is ON can
result in electric shock and/or injury.
Disconnect the battery from the charger
unit when fully charged. Do not leave a
fully charged battery connected to the
charger. Unplug the charger from the
wall outlet when not in use.
Store the battery in an area where it
will not become wet or damp and do not
spray any liquid on the battery. Store the
battery in a safe place out of the reach of
children and pets.
If the battery has been stored for an
extended period of time, even if it has
been periodically charged, it should be
fully charged before using it in the e-bike.
Particularly high and particularly low
ambient temperatures can permanently
speed up battery wear or even
damage the rechargeable battery. The
rechargeable battery is subject to a
certain degree of wear. Refer to the
manufacturer’s warranty terms for exact
charge/discharge cycle specifications
and corresponding power loss figures.
Maintain the battery and the charger
as directed by the manufacturer’s
instructions.
