4.9 Safety instructions for the battery pack

 

Before the e-fix is used for the first time, the battery pack should be fully charged. 

 

The e-fix must only be used at temperatures between -25 °C and + 50 °C. 

 

Never charge the battery pack at temperatures under 0 °C or over 40 °C. 

 

The battery pack must not be exposed to heat (e.g. radiators) or fire. External heat exposure can lead to the battery pack exploding.

 

Your e-fix consumes energy each time you use it. Therefore, if possible, fully charge the battery pack after every use. 

 

The battery pack housing must not be opened or taken apart. Improper opening or wilful destruction carries a danger of serious injury. 
In addition to this, opening the battery will void any warranty claims.

 

Never connect the battery pack charger socket [15] to metallic objects, and ensure that the contacts do not come into contact with 
metallic objects (for example with metal filings).

 

If the socket [15] is dirty, clean it with a clean and dry cloth. 

 

Never immerse the battery pack in water. 

 

If damaged or defective, the battery pack must be checked. In such cases, contact your specialist dealer to learn about the proper pro-
cedure for returns and repairs.

 

If the battery pack is defective or damaged, you must not use the e-fix under any circumstances. Contact your specialist dealer about 
a repair.

 

Always ensure that the battery pack is kept clean and dry.

4.10 Storing the battery pack

 

The service life of a battery pack is partly dependent on its storage location. For this reason, do not leave the battery pack or the e-fix 
wheels in hot locations for prolonged periods. In particular, use the boot of a car parked in the sun only for transport – never as a stor-
age location.

 

Store the battery pack and the e-fix wheels in a cool and dry location where they are safe from damage and unauthorised access. 

 

To achieve the optimum battery pack service life, it should be stored at a temperature between 10 °C and 23 °C, an air pressure of 
500 to 1060 hPa, and a humidity of 10 to 80 percent. The charge status under these conditions should be 100 percent. Under these 
conditions, the battery pack can be stored for at least 6 months.

 

Do not expose the battery pack to moisture of any kind during storage (water, rainwater, snow, etc.). 

 

Prior to storage, charge the battery pack and check its charge status every month. If necessary, charge the battery pack if the charge 
status drops to below 50 percent.

4.11 Information about transporting and shipping the battery pack

 

The battery pack of your e-fix is rated as safe as dry cells and is approved for air cargo transport by DOT and IATA.

 

As transport regulations may change annually, we strongly recommend that you consult your travel operator, airline or shipping line 
before you set out on your trip in order to learn about the current applicable regulations.

 

Please also note the applicable regulations for transporting batteries in the countries you are visiting.
