Charging and maintenance tips for the battery
• Never put the bicycle away with an empty battery. We recommend charging the
battery as soon as possible when it is empty.
•
The best storage charge for the battery is at a charge with three to five LEDs light up.
•
In winter, check the battery charge every other month, top up if less than three LED's
light up.
• Preferably store and use the battery between 5 and 20 degrees, avoid higher and
lower temperatures.
• Do not charge the battery in direct sunlight and make sure that the battery is not
charged at a temperature lower than 5 degrees.
•
Only use the charger in non-humid indoor areas, the charger must not get wet.
•
Only use the supplied Van Raam battery and charger.
• The housing of the battery and the charger must not be opened. In case of problems,
please consult your dealer.
•
A Van Raam battery may/cannot be overhauled for the safety and correct operation
of the electrical system.
•
Do not drop the battery as this can cause external and internal damage.
•
If the bicycle malfunctions, the battery must be disconnected from the bicycle.
Keep in mind that the bike provides less assistance at lower
temperatures (0ºC and below) and that the battery will drain more
quickly. It also takes longer to charge at low temperatures.
Every battery drains over time. This process is called "self-discharge". A
battery that is empty and not being charged can undergo a deep
discharge due to self-discharge and thus become defective. The
warranty is void in case of deep discharge.
Keep in mind that every battery wears out over time. The wear and
tear process of the battery is inevitable and depends on several factors
such as use, the number of times to fully discharged and charged and
the ambient temperature. Even if the battery is not used, its capacity
will decrease. A worn-out battery can be used as usual, but keep in
mind that the range will be reduced.
