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 fire 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 fire 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 fire 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 

flames. 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 difficult or 

impossible to clean out.

 

To avoid damage to the battery, never 

subject it to intense physical shock 

or severe vibration.
