MANUAL
Charging instructions lithium batteries:
Lithium batteries should never be deep discharged, this will irreparably damage the
lithium cells. All lithium batteries should (if possible) always be stored at medium
charge. If a battery is not needed for a long time, please do not fully charge it before-
hand - this puts the lithium cells in unnecessary „stress“ which can lead to a shortened
life span in the long run. If you have a choice when using the battery, we recommend
in principle not to fully charge it, but always to use it in the medium voltage range. Of
course, the battery can be fully charged to drive long distances, for example - it‘s just
technically best for a lithium battery not to do this in order to really get the maximum
performance and lifespan out of the battery.
Lithium battery life is expressed in charge cycles. Don‘t think you are „wasting“ many
charge cycles by recharging the lithium battery more often even though it is not
„drained“ - this is completely wrong! The indicated lifetime in charging cycles means
so-called full cycles. This means that if you discharge your battery 50% and then fully
charge it again, this corresponds to ½ charging cycle. Charging twice corresponds to
one full cycle. We recommend recharging a lithium battery at 25% residual charge up
to approx. 75% charge level. For long distances, however, the battery can of course be
fully charged - see above.
During wintering or long storage of vehicles with lithium batteries, it is imperative to
recharge them at least once a month to approx. 60%.
For lithium batteries, use only the chargers approved and recommended by the manu-
facturer. Charging with too high a charging current in order to be able to charge faster
can irreparably damage the lithium cells and, in the worst case, even lead to a fire.
CHARGE BATTERY
If you have a lithium battery, the lithium battery‘s
the charging cable of the lithium battery under
the footboard and under the footboard and
connect it to the socket of the charging cable
must be connected!
