XVI-1. Straightforward charging
•
There is no memory effect. You can therefore fully recharge your battery after every trip.
•
Recharge the battery after every trip. This means you can set off immediately the next time
you use your bike and you also increase the service life of the battery.
•
If you are not using the battery, you must recharge it after 3 months at the latest.
XVI-2. High degree of safety due to battery management
•
The battery cannot be damaged as a result of a short-circuit. If this were to happen, the
battery management would switch off the battery.
•
You can simply leave the battery standing in the charger as it prevents overcharging.
XVI-3. Straightforward storage
• If you do not need your battery for a while, store it ata temperature of +10 °C at three
quarters of its Lil charge capacity. •The battery enters sleep mode to prevent it from totally
discharging.
• These benefits are available due to highly effective battery management that has been
adapted to this specific application and by tuning the battery for operation with a 500 watt
motor.
NOTE:
Observe the following points to increase the service life of your E-bike battery:
• Make sure that the battery is fully charged before you ride your bike for the first time or after
you have not used it for a while.
• You should run ttie battery all the way down to empty for the first three charging cycles. This
allows the battery to reach its maximum capacity.
•
If you continuously run the battery to empty during normal operation, ttiis reduces its service
life.
•
If you partially recharge the battery frequently during normal operation, this has a favourable
effect on its service life.
•
You should therefore partially recharge the battery whenever possible: Try not to run the
battery all the way down to empty and recharge it even after a short period of operation.
•
If you are having problems with the battery, place it in the charger for one minute. A reset
occurs, during which the battery management disables sleep mode for example. After this,
the battery will work again.
• Ideally you should charge the battery at a temperature of b10° C and +30 ° C. It
takes longer to charge the battery at low temperatures, the battery will not charge up at tem-
peratures higher than +30 °C. Ideally, you should charge and store the battery inside your
house or in a warm garage when the outside temperature is low. In this case you should
only fit the battery on your bike just before using it
•
If you are transporting your E-bike by car, take the battery out of its holder and transport it
separately.
•
The battery is ideally stored for longer periods charged to 75% of its capacity at a tempera-
ture of +10 °C.
