III User Manual Pedelec with centre motor
›
Check there is sufficient charge in the battery for
the journey you intend to make before setting off.
›
In winter the distance you can normally cover with
the battery operating normally is less. Only move
the battery from the warm room where you store
it and fit it on your Pedelec just before you set off.
This prevents low temperatures from reducing the
distance you can normally travel. A correspond-
ing diagram is provided in
›
The distance you can cover can vary depending on
the topography, your handling, the condition of the
battery and the assist level you are using.
›
If all diodes flash consecutively, or several flash
at the same time (2 – 3 diodes), the battery is
damaged.
Before taking the battery to your specialist cycle shop
to have it checked, put the battery in the charger for
one minute then test it again.
6.5 Service life and warranty
6.5.1 of drive
The Panasonic centre motor is a fully-developed durable
and maintenance-free drive. It is a wear part with a two-
year warranty. As its power output is higher, wear parts
such as the drive and brakes are subject to higher loads
than they would be on a normal bike which is why they
wear out more quickly.
6.5.2 of battery
Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts also come with a two-
year warranty.
If the battery develops a fault during this period, your
specialist cycle shop will of course replace it. Normal age-
ing and battery wear do not constitute a fault.
The service life of the battery depends on different factors.
The most important wear-relevant factors are
•
the
number of charge cycles
and
•
the
age
of the battery.
When you have fully charged and discharged your battery
1,100 times, it will still have 60% of its initial capacity,
providing it has been well looked after:
BATTERY
REMAINING
CAPACITY
~ DISTANCE COVERED
8 Ah
4.8 Ah
19,360 km
12 Ah
7.2 Ah
30,800 km
18 Ah
10.8 Ah
52,800 km
From the technical standpoint above therefore, the battery
is exhausted at this point. It also goes without saying that
the battery ages. Even if you do not use your battery, its
capacity reduces.
Providing you can still cover the journey distances with
this remaining battery capacity, you can of course con-
tinue using it. If the capacity is no longer sufficient, you
can take your battery to a specialist cycle shop who will
dispose of your battery and sell you a new one.
›
You can extend the service life of the battery by
fully recharging it after every journey, however
short. The Panasonic Li-cobalt battery has no
memory effect.
›
You can also extend the service life of the battery
by using the assistance selectively. Avoid, for ex-
ample, using gears that make pedalling difficult
with the highest assist level activated.
