4.2 Important Information: Lithium-Ion Batteries
The following important information applies to your Gocycle lithium battery. Read carefully to ensure
the proper and safe operation and storage of the battery.
 Your battery has been designed for use with Gocycle models only. Do not use the
battery with any other product.
 Never charge your battery in a room that does not have an appropriate smoke
detector.
 If you are charging your battery in a garage or other storage unit such as a
garden shed, boat house, RV, boat, or car, ensure that an appropriate smoke
detector is fitted.
 Do not use a used or second hand lithium battery in your Gocycle that has not
been approved by Gocycle. When in doubt, contact
customerservice@gocycle.com.
 Do not handle the battery with wet hands.
 Do not short circuit, disassemble, damage or modify the battery in any way.
 Do not expose the battery to fire or high temperatures over 40°C (104°F).
 Do not drop or subject the battery to strong impacts. Impacts can damage the
internal battery safety devices and cause the battery to overheat, ignite, rupture
or leak.
 Only use, charge or store the battery in an environment with ambient
temperatures between 5°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F) and a humidity of 45% to
85% RH.
 Do not charge the battery if it is below 5°C (32°F).
 Do not expose the battery to water or moisture. Water can corrode or damage the
internal battery safety devices and cause the battery to overheat, ignite, rupture
or leak.
 In the event that the Gocycle or battery has been submerged or partially or
completely flooded in water the battery is no longer safe to operate and should be
handled with extreme caution. Water can corrode or damage the internal battery
safety devices and cause the battery to overheat, ignite, rupture or leak. Do not
attempt to charge the battery or turn it on or ride the Gocycle using the battery.
The Gocycle should be removed to a safe, well ventilated location away from
people, buildings, and combustible materials and monitored from a safe distance
for a minimum of 8 hours. In the event that you should detect smoke or fire, call
the fire department immediately. After sufficient monitoring and only if it is safe to
do so, remove the battery from the Gocycle. Contact your local lithium battery
recycling centre to arrange collection and safe disposal.
 Do not keep or store lithium batteries that have been partially or completely
flooded or submerged in water.
 Only use the specified charger and charger lead supplied with Gocycle. An
inappropriate charger may cause damage or injury through fire or electric shock.
 Check that your insurance policy includes cover for electric bikes.
 Do not leave the battery unattended whilst charging. For example, do not place
your Gocycle on charge and leave your properties unattended. Do not be at a
distance where you cannot hear the smoke detector where your Gocycle is being
charged.
