on how to use the battery charger. People who, because of their
physical, sensory or intellectual capabilities, or because of their lack
of experience or knowledge, are unable to use battery chargers, are
prohibited from using them unless supervised or under the instruction
of a responsible person. Otherwise there is a risk of mishandling with
consequential very serious injuries.
WARNING
Only use the correct, original charger to charge the battery. The use of
other battery chargers can cause explosions, serious burns and res.
Further consequences can include malfunctions and a limited battery
life. You can nd a list of permitted chargers in  7.2 Charger Page

Only charge the correct, original battery with the charger. The use of
other batteries can cause explosions, serious burns and res. Further
consequences can include malfunctions and a limited battery life. You
can nd a list of approved batteries in  5.2 Technical details Page
EN-38.
CAUTION
Batteries must not be immersed in water. This presents a risk of
explosion. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only the
surrounding burning material. Fire extinguishers with metal re
powder (Class D) are more suitable. If it is possible to take the battery
safely outside, smother the re with sand. But you need not be afraid
of the battery exploding under you when you ride the cycle through
rain. The battery is sealed to prevent moisture and spray water from
entering.
IMPORTANT
Do not spray the battery with a water hose or wash it with a high-
pressure cleaner. Damage to the battery may still result even though
the components are sealed. Clean the battery with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use any cleaners which contain alcohol or solvent, or which
scour. No coarse sponges or brushes may be used either. They leave
scratches and cause the surface to become matt. Clean the battery
with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not allow dirt to dry out. It is best to clean the battery
immediately after your ride.
1. Remove the battery from the pedelec.
2. Clean the casing with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
3. If the battery terminals are dirty, clean them with a dry, soft cloth.
