Inserting the battery
1. The key must be inserted into the lock and
turned in an anti-clockwise direction before
the battery can be put in place. Thereafter, the
battery can be inserted into the battery holder
of the Pedelec. It might have to be tilted by ap-
prox. 45° towards the outside for this purpose,
depending on where the battery is installed.
2. Ensure that the lock latches when you press
the battery into the holder. Turn the key in a
clockwise direction and pull it out. The battery
is now locked.
3. Please check that the battery is secure.
You can fully charge your battery
every time. There is no memory ef-
fect.
The optimal temperature range
for charging the battery is between
0°C and +30°C. The charging time
increases when the temperature
is lower. The battery will not be
charged when the temperature is
above 45° C.
It is recommended to store and charge the
battery in your house or in a warm garage and
to insert it only shortly before the time of use
when the outside temperatures are low. This
increases the service life of the battery

Battery information system
The battery of your Pedelec may be equipped
with an information system that indicates the
charging state and the capacity of the battery.
This is usually accomplished by a display eld
on the outside of the battery or a display at the
handlebars. The system is activated by pressing
the battery button and shows the charging state
and capacity of the battery either by a percent-
age value or by the way LEDs light up and the
number of them.
Check the charging state and the
capacity of the battery before every
ride. Only start off when the charg-
ing state is sufcient to support you during
the entire planned trip. Always allow for some
“reserve” to get home comfortably and safely.
More details can be found in the attached original
battery manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Take note that the range of your bat-
tery is reduced at lower temperatures
when you ride your Pedelec in winter.
You can counteract this by storing the battery
in a warm room and only putting it into your
Pedelec immediately before starting off.
Never send a battery in the mail! A
battery is classied as dangerous
goods. It may heat up and catch re
under certain conditions.
Storage of the battery
Store the battery in a dry and well ventilated
place when you do not need it for a prolonged
period. A room temperature of 10 – 23°C and a
charging state of 50 – 75 % are favorable. The
battery must be recharged when you do not use
it for longer than six months.
Only trained staff may dispatch batteries. Con-
tact your specialist dealer when you want to
make a claim regarding a battery. He is usually in
a position to collect the battery free of charge and
in accordance with the Dangerous Goods Act.
