BATTERY CARE & DISPOSAL
Your OSET features a 48v drive system, for use with a sealed 48V lithium baery.
Under NO circumstances should this baery box be opened by anyone other than a
trained OSET technician.
Doing so can damage the baery and/or bike & will void any warranty.
OSET recommend using a ‘mulmeter’ to
monitor the health of the baery. You will be
able to easily and instantly see the charge of
the baery.
In order to test the baery voltage using a
mulmeter, connect the negave & posive
probes to a pair of pins on the discharge port
on the baery as shown.
A mulmeter is also very useful in diagnosing
any electrical problems on the bike.
We are condent that you will enjoy many miles of pleasurable riding with your OSET
electric bike baeries. However, baeries do eventually wear out.
When this happens, we urge you to properly dispose of your used baeries.
For guidance regarding proper disposal of your baeries, please contact your local dealer,
distributor or the customer service department at OSET.
In the USA you can nd very useful informaon regarding used baery drop-o sites from
the Rechargeable Baery Recycling Corporaon (RBRC) at www.rbrc.org or through their
ocial program www.call2recycle.org.
For UK customers, please visit www.recyclenow.com to nd your local recycling centre.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
When tesng the baery voltage, you should have a reading of between 34.0 & 54.4V

range, please disconnect the baery immediately and contact your OSET dealer,
importer or OSET customer services.
