Storage

Store the system in a place that is:
• Flat and stable
• Well ventilated and free from moisture
• Sheltered from the elements and from direct sunlight
Long storage period (1 month or longer) and using it again after a long
storage period
• When storing the bicycle for a long period (1 month or longer), remove the battery pack and
store it using the following procedure.
• Decrease the residual battery capacity to where one or two battery capacity indicator lamps are
lit, and store it indoors in a cool 59–77 °F (15–25 °C), dry place.
• Check the residual battery capacity once a month, and if only one battery capacity indicator
lamp is flashing, charge the battery pack for about 10 minutes. Do not let the residual battery
capacity become too low.
TIP
• If you leave the battery pack at "full charge" or "empty", it will deteriorate quicker.
• Due to self-discharge, the battery slowly loses its charge during storage.
• The battery's capacity decreases over time but proper storage will maximize its service life.
• When using it again after a long storage period, be sure to charge the battery pack before using
it. Also, if you are using it again after storing it for 6 months or longer, have your bicycle inspect-
ed and maintained at a dealer.
K. Transport
The batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. When being transport-
ed by third parties (e.g. via air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging
and labels must be observed. To prepare the item for shipping, consult a hazardous materials ex-
pert. The customer can transport the batteries by road without further requirements. Do not trans-
port damaged batteries.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery pack in such a manner that it cannot move
around in the packaging. Be sure to observe all local and national regulations. In case of questions
concerning transport of the batteries, please refer to an authorized bicycle dealer.
