When you do not use your Velo de Ville EPAC for
a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter
season) observe some particularities. Store the
rechargeable battery or the complete Velo de Ville
EPAC when the battery is integrated in the frame
in a dry room at temperatures between 5 and 20
degrees Celsius. The state of charge
[d]
should
be 50 to 70 % 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 cloth
[e]
. Look out for possible de-
fects of the housing. 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. Check after every cleaning whether
the area around the rechargeable battery is free of
water and whether the contacts are dry.
For more information on the proper handling of
your rechargeable battery see the system instruc-
tions of your drive system manufacturer, e.g. the

Handling the battery
Danger
Charge your battery only with the supplied
charger
[f]
. Do not use the charger of any oth-
er manufacturer, not even when the connec-
tor of the charger matches your rechargeable
battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up,
catch fire or even explode!
Danger
Charge the battery with an ambient tempera-
ture of 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Let hot bat-
teries 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.
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 battery during the
charging process on a big, non-inflammable
plate made of ceramics or glass! Unplug the
battery once it has been charged up.
Danger
Make sure your rechargeable battery is in
sound condition. Do not open, disassemble or
crush the battery. Risk of explosion!
