•
The depth of discharge affects the cycle life. The harder a
battery has to work, the shorter is its life expectancy.
Examples:
– One deep discharge stresses the same as 6 normal cycles
(green /orange display off).
– The battery life is about 300 cycles at 80% discharge (first 3
LED off), or about 3000 cycles at 10% discharge.
•
Under normal operation, once a month the battery should be
discharged until all green and orange LED are off. This should be
done within one day. A 16 hour charge afterwards is necessary
as reconditioning.
7.2.7 Transporting batteries
The batteries supplied with your mobility device are not hazardous
goods. This classification is based on the German GGVS Hazardous
Goods Road Transport Ordinances, and the IATA/DGR Hazardous
Goods Rail Transport / Air Transport Ordinances. Batteries may be
transported without restrictions, whether by road, rail or by air.
Individual transport companies have, however, guidelines which can
possibly restrict or forbid certain transport procedures. Please ask
the transport company regarding each individual case.
