5.3 Charging the battery
DANGER
Risk of injury due to improper charging of the battery!
Improper charging may cause the battery or other inflammable materials nearby to catch fire.
• Only use the original charger.
• Do not locate the charger or battery near inflammable materials while charging.
• Only charge the battery when dry.
• Do not leave the battery unattended while charging it.
The battery pack can be charged at any time when removed or installed without shortening its service life. Interrupting
the charging process does not damage the battery pack.
The battery pack comes with a temperature control that only allows you to charge the battery within a temperature
range of 0 °C to 40 °C. If the battery pack is outside the charging temperature range, three LEDs of the battery charge
indicator
(7) will start to flash. Disconnect the battery from the charger until the temperature has adjusted.
Only connect the battery pack to the charger when the permissible charging temperature has been reached.
Battery charge indicator
When the battery pack is switched on, the five green LEDs of the
battery charge indicator
(7) show the charge level of the
battery. Each indicator LED is equivalent to a capacity of approx.
20 %. When the battery pack is completely charged, all five LEDs
light up.
Besides, the charge level of the switched on battery pack is indicated
with the
symbol on the display of the on-board computer.
When the remaining capacity of the battery pack is below 5 %,
all charge indicator LEDs (7) of the battery turn off, however, the
on-board computer still indicates the capacity.

During the charging process, the charge indicator LEDs on the battery
(7) light up. Each permanently
lit LED is equivalent to approximately 20 % capacity. The flashing LED indicates the charging of the next 20 %.
→
Once the e-bike battery is fully charged, the LEDs turn off immediately and the on-board computer is switched
off. Charging is completed.
