It is recommended that the battery is charged regularly, or after each use. These batteries do not have
a memory effect. In order to maximise the life of your battery, it is advisable:
• To avoid hot places (ideal charging temperature 20°C)
• Allow the battery to cool down for 30 minutes after using the bicycle
Precautions for use:
• Only use the battery for this bike.
• Only use the specific charger supplied to charge the battery.
• Only charge the battery in a properly ventilated area.
• Do not expose the battery to heat or charge it in direct sunlight.
• Do not disassemble or modify the unit and the battery that is built into the unit.
• Do not connect the (+) and (-) battery connections with a metal object.
• Do not expose the battery to liquids.
• Do not use a damaged battery.
• Do not continue to charge the battery if the charge is not complete after the
theoretical charging time.
• Do not use the battery if it emits an unusual smell, becomes unusually hot or if
something seems abnormal.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
• Charge your battery before a prolonged period of storage and repeat this
operation after the storage period.
Batteries can suffer from ageing in their performance after a large number of
charges. This will depend on the patterns of use for your power-assisted
bicycle.
You must dispose of your used batteries at your local store or specialised
recycling depot. Most importantly, do not throw your end-of-life battery into
the environment.

RECOMMENDATION: If the bicycle is not used frequently for a certain period of time,
it must be fully recharged every month. The battery case must be stored in a dry,
protected place, at a temperature between 5 and 35°C.
