When there is dirt on the terminals of the battery mount and
battery charger, remove the battery, remove the power plug
from the electrical outlet, and then clean them with a waste
cloth or cotton bud dampened with ethanol, etc. If you
repeatedly install and remove the battery while they are still
dirty, it may cause wear on the terminals and make them
unable to be used.
Terminal example
•
Keep the surface where the battery contacts the battery
mount clean. If the battery is connected with foreign material
such as dirt or dust attached, the battery may become unable
to be removed.
•
Use a damp, well wrung out cloth when cleaning the battery
and plastic cover.
•
If you have any questions about the use and maintenance of
the product, consult the place of purchase.
•
Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and
deterioration from normal use and aging.

For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO
lubricants and maintenance products.
Introduction
You cannot use the battery immediately after shipment. The
battery can be used after fully charging it with the designated
battery charger. Be sure to charge it before use. The battery can
be used when the LED on it turns on.
Items for regular inspection
before riding the bicycle
Inspect the following items before riding the bicycle. If any
problems are found, consult the place of purchase or distributor.
•
Is the battery level sufficient?
•
Is the battery installed correctly?
Handling method
Charging time
The charging time will vary depending on the battery level and
the battery charger being used.
This is a lithium-ion battery. Use the dedicated battery charger
designated by SHIMANO.
Battery storage method
•
If the bicycle will not be ridden for an extended period, store it
with a battery level of approximately 70%. Also, charge the
battery once every six months to ensure that it is not
completely discharged.
•
Store the battery or bicycle with battery installed in a cool
indoor location away from direct sunlight and rain (estimate:
10 to 20°C). If the storage temperature is low or high, the
performance of the battery is reduced, and its useable time
will be shorter. When you use the battery after a long storage
period, make sure to charge it first.
Battery life
•
The battery is an exhaustible item. The battery will gradually
lose its capacity to charging after repeated use. If the length
of time that the battery can be used and its traveling distance
become extremely short, it has probably reached the end of its
life, and so you will need to purchase a new battery.
•
The life of the battery will vary depending on factors such as
the storage method, the usage conditions, the surrounding
environment and the characteristics of the individual battery
pack.
