Storing The BatteryCharge Safety

Note of storing
Storage Conditions
When the battery pack will not be used for weeks or months, remove it from the eBike and store
the battery pack at about 60 % charge as indicated by the Energy Bar on the display. At about
60% charge, the battery will degrade less, compared to higher charge levels. Every 2-3 months
check the battery charge level and recharge to 60%, if necessary.
For optimum service life for your battery pack, charge the battery pack to 100% a few hours
before you plan to ride. For example, if you ride the bicycle and the charge level falls to 50% but
you plan to use the bicycle again in a few days, wait until the day before you plan to use it again
to charge it to 100%.
Leaving the battery permanently connected to the charger is not recommended.
As the battery pack ages, capacity will diminish and the battery pack will eventually need to be
replaced. A significantly reduced operating period after charging indicates that the battery pack
is worn out and must be replaced. You may replace it yourself by purchasing a replacement
battery pack from Aipas eBikes.
Note: If the battery is stored at no charge for an extended period of time, it may be damaged
despite the low self-discharge and may reduce the battery capacity.
Charging Battery Pack Before and During Storage
Plug the cable from the charger into the port on the side of the battery pack.
Plug the charger power cable into an electrical mains wall socket. Use only the supplied input
connection: standard AC power cord when connecting to the household electrical supply.
After charging is complete and the light on the charger is green, disconnect the cable from the
battery port and the power cord from the wall socket. If you have charged the battery in the
bicycle frame, carefully insert the plug after charging, so that no dirt or water can enter the
battery port.
Note: The charging process is only possible when the temperature of your Aipas eBike battery is
within the permitted charging temperature range.
Note: PAS is deactivated during the charging process.
To Charge:
If possible, store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated place. Protect it from moisture and
water.Always store your Aipas eBike battery pack in a location that:
For an optimum service life, store your Aipas eBike battery at temperatures between 50º F and
68º F. Never store it at temperatures below 14º F or above 140º F. Make sure the maximum
storage temperature is not exceeded. Do not leave the battery in your car during the summer, for
example, and store it away from direct sunlight.
NOTE: Leaving the battery installed on the bicycle for long-term storage is
not recommended.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to the risk of an electric shock. Clean
only with the use of a damp cloth (mild soap/water).
Always check the charger, cable, and plug before use. Stop using the charger if you find any
damage. Do not open the charger. Damaged chargers, cables, and plugs increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not operate the charger on easily ignited surfaces (e.g., paper, textiles) or in flammable
environments. The charger may heat up and cause a fire.
Take care if you touch the charger while it is charging. The charger can get very hot, especially
when the ambient temperature is high.
If the battery gives off fumes due to damage or incorrect use, ventilate the area and seek
medical attention if needed. These fumes can irritate the respiratory tract.
Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical shock. There is a risk of damage to the battery
pack.
Keep the battery charger away from children. This will ensure that children do not play with
the charger.
Persons who cannot safely operate the charger due to physical, sensory, or mental limitations,
or due to lack of experience or knowledge, should only use it under supervision or after
instruction by a responsible person to avoid operating errors and injuries.
Note the household voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond to the specifi-
ca-options given on the battery charger nameplate.
DO NOT charge the battery unattended or leave the battery connected to the charger
overnight.
The battery is in a room with a smoke alarm;
The battery is away from combustible or easily flammable objects;
The battery is away from heat sources.
