Please, follow the manufacturer instructions of your pedelec battery, especially the
temperature and storage conditions.
Please connect your output plug of mVELO with the input of the pedelec
battery for charging first before plug in the current source.
Charge the battery till the procedure is completed (charging power = „0“
[
W
OUT
]).
The solar device was specially developed to charge Li-Ion pedelec batteries
(type cobald, mangan or phosphat not NiMH).
The relatively low charging performance can’t stress or damage the pedelec
battery. The charging current depends on charging voltage and is limited
for charging initial and circuit voltage to prevent the early aging of pedelec
battery.
How to check the battery status
The mVELO measures the power charged in the pedelec battery with
accuracy up to +/- 2% and is suitable as a measuring device to determine the
battery status.
The maximum charged energy for a pedelec battery (capacity) is a measure
for battery status or aging status.
To measure the maximum capacity discharges your battery completely.
Supply your mVELO with current and set the Wh-display to “0” (
Wh
OUT
).
You can read the max. capacity of the pedelec battery in the display mode
Wh
OUT
when the charging process is finished.
To get a reference value we recommend to carry out this process with the
new battery. Wait until the new battery is charged 3 times to ensure measu-
ring the maximum capacity.
The measuring value can be compared with the capacity of the pedelec
battery declared by the manufacturer (see the nameplate,
Wh
= nominal
