STORING THE BATTERY
If the BEN-E-BIKE isn't used for a long time, it is best to remove the battery and store this in a cool place
(between 10 - 20 ° C). The battery gradually discharges even when not in use - so recharging every 6 months
is highly recommended. The battery has a protection circuit against deep discharge. However, this protection
circuit needs minimal power and still discharges the battery, even if it already prevents the battery from being
switched on.
If you simply leave the battery for many months, without controlling its state of charge, you risk a
permanent destruction of the battery cells. As a rule, a lithium-ion battery is already sustainably damaged
after one single deep discharge and can then no longer provide sufficient capacity.
MECHANICAL DEFECTS OF THE BATTERY
The housing of a BEN-E-BIKE battery is largely made of aluminium and therefore extremely robust. Defects
caused by mechanical impacts are therefore likely to occur very rarely. However, if you find a defect, you
should not open the battery in any case. Bring the rechargeable battery immediately to your specialist dealer,
who can then forward it to us for repair or inspection. Batteries with mechanical defects must not be shipped
by post!
REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY
You can easily replace the battery by an identical BEN-E-BIKE battery.
CLEANING OF THE BATTERY
The battery is protected against splashing water - but it must not be sprayed with a high-pressure cleaner or a
intense jet of water! Also dipping in water is not allowed!
Both on the charger and on the batteries the voltage is indicated in "Volt". Make sure that the battery and
charger have the same values!
