Useful Information for Proper Handling of the Battery
Remove the rechargeable battery, if you do not use your STEVENS pedelec for
a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter season). Store the rechargeable bat-
tery in a dry room at temperatures between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius (41 and 68
degrees Fahrenheit). The state of charge should be 50 to 60 % of the charging
capacity. Check the state of charge, if the rechargeable battery is left unused for
more than two months, and recharge it in between, if necessary.
Clean the battery housing with a dry or, if at all, a slightly moist rag. Do not direct
the water jet of a high-pressure cleaner at the rechargeable battery, as there is a
risk of water entry and/or short-circuit.
For more information read chapter
“Operation”
in the BOSCH system instructions
or chapter
“Method of use”
in the SHIMANO STePS system instructions on the
enclosed CD-ROM.
Danger:
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger. Do not use the charger of any
other manufacturer, not even when the connector of the charger matches your re-
chargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up, catch fire or even explode!
Danger:
Do not use a rechargeable battery or a charger that is defective. If you are in doubt or
if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.
Danger:
We recommend that you charge your battery during the day and only in dry rooms
which have a smoke or a fire detector; but keep it off your bedroom. Place the bat-
tery during the charging process on a big, non-inflammable plate made of ceramics
or glass!
Danger:
The drive is not approved for steam cleaning, high-pressure cleaning or cleaning
with a water hose. The contact of water with the electrics or the drive can destroy
the units. The individual drive components can be cleaned with a soft rag and neutral
detergents. You may use a moist rag, but not excessive water. Keep the rechargeable
battery dry and do not submerge it! Risk of explosion.
Danger:
Make sure your re-
chargeable battery is in
sound condition. Do not
open, disassemble or
crush the battery. Risk of
explosion!
Danger:
Do not charge any other
electrical devices with
the supplied charger of
your STEVENS pedelec!
Danger:
Keep your battery away
from fire and heat. Risk
of explosion!
Caution:
Remove the recharge-
able battery from your
pedelec or e-bike, if you
do not use your pedelec
for a longer period of
time.
Danger:
Keep the rechargeable
battery and the charger
during the charging
process away from
moisture and water to
exclude electric shocks
and short circuits.
Danger:
Make sure your
rechargeable battery
(g) is not exposed to
mechanical impacts.
Danger:
Keep the rechargeable
battery and the charger
out of the reach of
children!
Danger:
Do not expose your
battery or the charger to
the blazing sun.
Danger:
Batteries must not be short-circuited. Store them therefore 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 inappropriately, 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).
Caution:
When you remove your battery from the holder for charging it with your pedelec left
in the open during the charging process, you should protect the connections, e.g.
with a plastic bag against rain, water, moisture and dirt. If the connections of your
rechargeable STEVENS battery are soiled, clean them with a dry rag.
Caution:
Make sure not to discharge your rechargeable battery completely (also referred to
as depth discharge). Depth discharge will affect the rechargeable battery of your
pedelec permanently. A deep-discharged battery can only be recharged in exception-
al cases and with special chargers. Contact your STEVENS dealer.
Caution:
Do not dispose of your rechargeable battery with standard household waste! It must
be disposed of according to battery disposal regulations. Therefore, sellers of new
rechargeable batteries must provide collection of old batteries and appropriate dis-
posal. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.
Caution:
If the rechargeable battery or the charger (or parts of it) must be replaced, only use
original spare parts. Contact in this case your STEVENS dealer.
Caution:
Charge the battery with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25 degree Celsius (59 to
77 degrees Fahrenheit).. Let hot batteries cool down beforehand. You should also
let the battery warm up to room temperature before connecting it to the charger in
winter or after a ride in cold weather.
Note:
Lithium-ion batteries
have no memory effect;
they can therefore
be charged at any
time without affecting
battery life. Avoid any
deep discharge of the
rechargeable battery.
Note:
Also observe possible
instructions on the
respective labels on the
rechargeable battery or
on the charger.
