The battery must be charged before it is used for the first time. Please use exclusively the original
charger designated by Blaupunkt for charging; otherwise it might damage the battery, and may even
lead to fire and other hazard. Warranty expires, if a charger other than the designated is used.

Check carefully whether the rated input voltage of the charger is consistent with the
voltage of the power grid.

connect the input plug (1) of the charger to the AC power supply.

charger turns from red to green, the battery has been fully charged.

with the battery (2).

7. BATTERY MAINTENANCE


You can achieve the best possible performance and lifespan of your battery by charging on
a regular basis and using it within the recommended temperature range. The battery has
nearly no memory effect thanks to the Li-ion technology.

Leaving a fully discharged battery for a long time will lead to permanent loss of function.
Please recharge an empty battery as soon as possible. If storing the battery for an extended
period, we recommend to recharge at least up to ¾ (4 diodes full) at least every 30 days to
avoid damage to the battery. A dead battery due to not charging the battery is not a
warranty claim.

Every battery with Li-ion technology is subject to an unstoppable chemical aging process.
Provided, the bicycle has been used properly, remaining capacity of 70% after 500 charging
cycles.

Please follow municipal regulations as to how to discard the battery appropriately, so as to
avoid environmental pollution.
