Battery tips
The bicycle that you have purchased is operated with the following battery types:
Model: Li-lon-battery (Ni-Li) NKY224B02
Capacity: 10 Ah
This battery can be charged and discharged about 500 times. A battery should always
be considered as a part which is subject to wear. This means that the initial capacity
diminishes with increasing age and according to the frequency with which the battery is
charged. If the travel range of your bicycle is no longer sufficient for you, we advise you
to replace your battery.
Battery sleep mode
When delivered, the battery is in the so-called sleep mode. Therefore, the battery must
be fully charged before it is operated for the first time because otherwise it can produce
no current. In the sleep mode, the operating panel is inactive.
If the capacity of the battery drops below 50% and if the battery remains uncharged for
longer than two weeks, the sleep mode returns.
Also, the battery self-discharges over time and it will enter the sleep mode after a down
time of approx. 4 months, even if it is fully charged.
!
The battery must be fully charged at least every six months - otherwise irreparable
damage may occur.
Batteries cannot be disposed of with regular domestic waste.
● Do not charge your bicycle battery in any other charger. Charging other batteries in the
charging station delivered with the system is also not permitted. There is a risk of explosion!
●Please do not store the battery outside and only install it just before starting to ride.
● Do not throw the battery into a fire or expose it to a heat source, because it could explode and
cause serious injuries.
● Please use only a damp cloth without chemical cleaners for cleaning the battery housing.
● Never attempt to open the battery.
● Check the battery housing regularly for cracks, breaks or
unusual deposits on the contacts. A battery with a damaged housing may no longer be used.
