Testing the eBike Battery Before Use
Test the eBike battery before charging it for the rst time or using it in your
eBike. To do this, press the on/off button (5) to switch the eBike battery on.
If none of the LEDs on the battery charge indicator (2) lights up, the eBike
battery may be damaged. If at least one (but not all) of the LEDs on the
battery charge indicator (2) lights up, the eBike battery will need to be fully
charged before using it for the rst time.
Do not charge or use eBike batteries if they are damaged.
Contact an authorised bicycle retailer.
Start-up
Note: The PowerMore battery can be used as the sole battery on the
eBike. Please note that due to the reduced capacity, both the range and
performance of the drive unit will be reduced.
Switching on/off
Switching on the eBike battery is one way to switch on the eBike. To do
this, read and follow the instructions in the operating manuals for the drive
unit and operating unit. Once the PowerMore battery is connected to the
eBike via the PowerMore cable, the eBike can be switched on/off via
the on/off button (5). Do not use any sharp or pointed objects to press the
button.
To switch off the eBike battery, press the on/off button (5) again. This will
also switch the eBike off. If no drive assistance is requested for about 10
minutes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no button is pressed
on the on-board computer or the operating unit of the eBike,
the eBike will switch off automatically. The eBike battery is protected
against deep discharge, overloading, overheating and short-circuiting
If a fault is detected in the eBike battery, two of
the LEDs on the battery charge indicator (2) will
ash. Contact an authorised bicycle retailer if this
happens.
Maintenance and cleaning
Keep the eBike battery clean and avoid contact with skincare products,
sun cream and insect repellent. Clean it carefully with a soft, damp cloth.
Clean and lightly grease the connector pins occasionally. Use medical or
technical Vaseline for this purpose. Please contact an authorised bicycle
retailer if the eBike battery is no longer working.
The eBike battery must not be immersed in water or cleaned
with a high-pressure cleaner.
Storage conditions
If possible, store the eBike battery in a dry, well-ventilated place. Protect
it against moisture and water. When the weather conditions are bad, it
is advisable to remove the eBike battery from the eBike and store it in
a closed room, for example, until you use it next. Do not store the eBike
battery in the following locations:
– in areas without smoke alarms
– near combustible or easily ammable objects
– near heat sources
– in locked vehicles (especially in the summer)
– in direct sunlight
To ensure an optimum service life, store the eBike batteries at room
temperature. Never store them at temperatures below −10 °C or above
60 °C. Make sure that the maximum storage temperature is not exceeded.
Leaving the eBike battery on the eBike for storage is not recommended.
