Notes for Optimum Handling of the 

Battery

At least 500 full charging cycles are guaranteed 

for the battery.

The battery life can be prolonged when being 

properly maintained and especially when being 

operated and stored at the right temperatures. 

Operating temperatures between +5 °C and 

+35 °C are recommended.

With increasing age, however, the battery ca-

pacity will diminish, even when properly main-

tained.

A significantly reduced operating period after 

charging indicates that the battery is worn out 

and must be replaced.

In case the carrying strap 

22

 of the standard bat-

tery widens, please have it replaced by a bicycle 

dealer.

Recharging the Battery prior to and during 

Storage

When not using the battery for a longer period, 

charge it to approx. 60 % (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the 

charge-control indicator 

15

). 

Check the charge condition after 6 months. 

When only one LED of the charge-control indica-

tor 

15

 lights up, recharge the battery again ap-

prox. 60 %.

Note: 

When the battery is stored discharged 

(empty) for longer periods, it can become dam-

aged despite the low self-discharging and the 

battery capacity may be strongly reduced.

It is not recommended to have the battery con-

nected permanently to the charger.

Storage Conditions

Store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated loca-

tion. Protect the battery against moisture and 

water. Under unfavourable weather conditions, 

it is recommended e.g. to remove the battery 

from the eBike and store it in an enclosed loca-

tion until being used again.

The battery can be stored at temperatures be-

tween –10 °C and +60 °C. For a long battery 

life, however, storing the battery at a room tem-

perature of approx. 20 °C is of advantage.

Take care that the maximal storage temperature 

is not exceeded. As an example, do not leave the 

battery in a vehicle in summer and store it out of 

direct sunlight.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

When the battery is no longer operative, please 

refer to an authorised bicycle dealer.

After-sales Service and Customer 

Assistance
