08 Battery
8.3 Removal & Disposal
In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU and Directive
2006/66/EC respectively, electronic devices that
are no longer usable and defective/drained batteries
must be collected separately and recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Transport
The eBike batteries are subject to legislation on the transport of dangerous
goods. Private users can transport undamaged eBike batteries by road without
having to comply with additional requirements.
When batteries are transported by commercial users or third parties (e.g.
air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging and
labelling (e.g. ADR regulations) must be met. When preparing items for shipping,
a dangerous goods expert can be consulted as required.
Do not ship batteries if the housing is damaged or the eBike battery is not
fully functional. Use only the original Kynamic eBike battery packaging when
transporting the eBike battery. Apply tape over exposed contacts and pack the
eBike battery such that it cannot move around inside the packaging.
Inform your parcel service that the package contains dangerous goods. Please
also observe any additional national regulations should these exist.
If you have any questions about transporting the eBike batteries, contact an
authorised Whyte bicycle retailer.
Disposal
Batteries, accessories and packaging should be recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner. Do not dispose of batteries along with
household waste. Apply tape over the contact surfaces of the battery terminals
before disposing of batteries.
Removal
The battery has been designed and secured into the frame of the eBike and
should only be removed by a trained professional mechanic. Removal of the
eBike battery should only be performed for essential maintenance or system
failure. Please contact your Whyte retailer for advice and guidance regarding
battery removal.
Do not touch severely damaged eBike batteries with your bare hands –
electrolyte may escape and cause skin irritation. Store the defective battery
in a safe location outdoors. Cover the terminals if necessary and inform your
Whyte retailer. They will help you to dispose of it properly.
Please return batteries that are no longer usable to an authorised Whyte
bicycle retailer.
INFO - This product has a built-in battery system. Your Whyte
retailer can help with the removal of your battery for disposal. Do
not attempt this process yourself. Whyte trained specialists are
available to help.
