Battery care & safety
The recommended storage temperature
for Li-Ion batteries is between 32–77°F
(0–25°C).
Transport
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to many
regulations, and are often considered
dangerous material by carriers. Be sure
to check for relevant laws, and ask the
carrier for approval prior to shipping a
lithium-ion battery, or transporting it by
air.
Disposal
Be friendly to the environment! Be
sure to recycle your old batteries at a
local battery-recycling center. Do not
throw them in the garbage! Check
www.Call2Recycle.org for more infor-
mation on free battery dropoff locations.
Safety
Use only the battery provided with
your bicycle. Even if it is physically
possible to connect another type of
battery, it is dangerous and potentially
damaging to do so.
DO NOT use this battery with any
other vehicle or appliance. Use of
this battery with any other product
will void the warranty, and may cre-
ate a hazardous condition that could
cause a fi re resulting in severe injury
or death, and property damage.
Never disassemble the battery or
open the battery case. There is a risk
of electric shock and damage to the
battery.
Never short circuit the discharge ter-
minals of the battery. A short circuit
will damage the battery and could
cause a fi re resulting in severe injury
or death, and property damage. When
handling the battery outside the bicy-
cle, be aware of conductive materials
that may short the battery terminals,
such as coins, nails, etc.
Never crush or puncture the battery.
A punctured or crushed battery could
catch fi re or explode, which could
lead to serious injury or death.
Protect the battery from water or other
moisture. If the battery becomes wet
from rain during use, dry it as soon
as possible. Remove the battery from
the electric bicycle before washing
the bicycle. Clean the battery with a
dry or slightly moist rag; do not sub-
merge or spray with pressurized water.
Keep the battery away from excessive
heat (104°F or higher) and/or open
fl ames. Avoid long term exposure to
direct rays from the sun.
Protect the battery from materials
that may contaminate the charge port
or the output port, such as dirt and
sand; the ports may be diffi cult or
impossible to clean out.
To avoid damage to the battery, never
subject it to intense physical shock
or severe vibration.
