The preparation and dispatch of batteries must only be carried out
by trained personnel and as per the applicable shipping policies and
regulations. If you have a complaint regarding the battery, please
contact your dealer. Dealers are able to have the battery collected free
of charge under the terms of the dangerous goods regulations.
Batteries must not be immersed in water. There is a risk of explosion.
Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only the surrounding
burning material. Class D extinguishers (metal powder type) are

NOTICE
Batteries must not be subject to mechanical impact. There is a risk
of it being damaged. A battery can still be damaged after a drop or
impact even if there are no visible signs of damage. Even apparently
perfect batteries should be inspected. Please ask your dealer to
inspect.
Perform a 'learning cycle': A new, fully charged battery should be
run down once until the motor assist stops and without recharging in
between. In that way the battery 'learns' its capacity, and the actual
capacity will agree with the level indicated on the battery status
display. As soon as the battery enters Sleep mode, press the battery
button for 1 second. Then the learn cycle can be continued. Please
perform a learning cycle every six months or 3000 miles. If you do not
repeat this from time to time, the actual capacity of the battery will
increasingly diverge from the value on the battery charge display.
Do not use the pedelec battery for any other purpose, otherwise there
is a risk of damage to the device.
Batteries are subject to the dangerous goods regulations.
Private users are permitted to transport them on the road
without further conditions. If transported by commercial
third parties (e.g by air freight, hauliers or logistics
companies) special conditions apply to packing and
labeling. For questions about transporting batteries, please
contact your dealer.
